Hi Helga, Thanks for your nice comment. I took this picture less than 5 miles from your house.
It was in the big gardens (I can’t remember the name . I think it was something like Kirstenbach or something) in the shadow of table mountain. P.S. I think that Table Mountian area, is one of the most phenomenal areas in the world. You are very lucky.
Keep Smiling,

Kirstenbosch yes!! oh my word JJ! this little sunbird is so stunning and greedy! and yes, I feel lucky every day. When were you here in SA? I assume by the rest of your stunning collection that you went to some game reserves too. Grin-grin, H.

You should see Cape Town in Spring! Botswana is gorgous though, yes? And Namibia, did you get to see it too? I was born there and has to say, it’s a very special place… made for pic-oportunities!
