🌳 Be like a tree. 🌲 Stay grounded. Connect with your roots. Turn over a new leaf. Bend before you break. Enjoy your unique natural beauty. Keep growing. -Joanne Raptis Me being Pippi Longstocking in a pine forest. To this day I don't know why I though ponytails was a good idea 😅😂 My husband loved it, I hated it!

This day I tried to be "Goth" 😂. All black with very dark lipstick. I just tried something out of the ordinary, new maybe. I don't know it it worked very well, but I did enjoy the "role playing"! 😉😅 This was taken in the Legalameetse Nature Reserve. It is a reserve just south of the town of Tzaneen. I love it there! There are so many places that is beautiful beyond description. In this set there are a few places that I love. My "tree chair", amazing big trees with lots of moss on them, green grasslands and even a ruin or two! Enjoy and have a very nice day!

Art 11 ------- This photo was taken nearly 17 years ago. It is one of the first topless photos of me! It was taken in front of the window of our bed room. This is also years before I got my implants!

Art 11 ------- Taken in a nature reserve we visited up to 13 times a year at one stage! Behind me is a dry riverbed that leads into a dam. As I'm looking the dam is right in front of me!

Art 11 ------- On the steps of a municipal park at the Witbank dam. As you can see the step are overgrown with weed. Due to mismanagement and just pure ineptness, this once immaculate place has gone to ruin. 😡 This is also a photo of my natural breast, before I had implants.

Art 11 ------- On a little wooden bridge in a park near us. We often sat here on this bridge, feet hanging over the edge and had a beer or a glass of wine! We haven't been there in a long time. It has become too dangerous there with criminals attacking picnickers. 😭

I love the early morning. Everything is so tranquil, the birds are singing and there is the promise of a brand new day. And let's be honest, what is better than sitting on a rock in the early winter morning with the sun warming my back. I Love It !!! This was taken in the Groenkloof Nature Reserve here in Pretoria. It is just a 10 minute drive for us. We do like spending time there. It is so nice to have such a pretty place in the middle of an urban area! Have an awesome Sunday everyone! 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

My day yesterday: Early in the morning I found out my Flickr account will have to be deleted due to new "terms of agreements"! Car battery flat when I wanted to go and visit a friend. We had to jump start the car. At friends place battery flat again! It a fairly long drive so I was sure it would be charged. Jump start again! Had battery preplaced. It was an old battery and overdue for replacement. Back at home I got into a huge fight with my brother. Then Susan gifted me a Pro account and my horrible day was flipped around completely! 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋 What a DAY! 😅

⌚ Make Time ⌚ Always make time for things that make you feel happy to be alive. For us it is to travel, explore and camp in beautiful areas. Unfortunately the high fuel price is put a bit of a damper on that. Can't even afford to drive to the beauty salon anymore!

🐍 Pine Needle Snakes 🐍 A friend told us that there are snakes under the thick carpet of pine needles. 🐍 I don't know if that's true, but now I'm very scared of walking or sitting on the pine needles. 😱 Luckily my husband will always walk ahead and make sure it is safe. 😅

😎 Misty Morning 😎 It is a cool and rainy morning here today. Seem like autumn has arrived with a vengeance! 🍂🌧 And you know what? Even on a cold and rainy morning we have so much to smile and laugh about. Even a cold, misty rainy morning is the start to a brand new day! 🌄 So I smile and laugh and have fun during a photoshoot in the forests near Sabie. The whole morning was clear. It was only when we drove higher into the mountains that we encountered the mist. I love the atmosphere of a misty photo.

☕ Sunday Tea ☕ This was a restaurant in the little town of Clarens. We often went to the Golden Gate National Park, which is close to the town of Clarens. It is a pretty little town close to the Lesotho mountains.

🦉 Gloria's House 🦉 This is the entrance to Gloria's house. Gloria is an owl that lived in the darkness behind me. While I was freshening up my make-up, my husband investigated the ruin to make sure everything is safe. As he entered, Gloria got a fright and flew past him in a silent rush! The poor man got such a fright he fell out of the doorway, nearly got a heart attack and screamed like a little girl! 😂😂😂 I still wanted to thank Gloria for letting us use her house for an amazing photoshoot.

This was taken on a pass that we nick named the "Gravel Road Pass". We could never find out what the real name of the pass was. Eventually we discovered that it's real name is "Breed's Nek Pass". It crosses the Magiesberg Mountain. When we first started driving this pass, we did it in a Nissan Livina passenger car. The pass has deteriorated so much, it can now only be done with 4x4's. We love that pass! The Rock ======== Sitting on my favorite rock Staring out over the rolling hills Watching the birds play on the winds Soft clouds hanging over me Here I feel so at peace and free
