Our older daughter, her husband, and their three children came for a visit and we went with them to a sort of children’s party at one of our beaches. One of the highlights was a magician. I loved the expressions on the kids’ faces.
The magician
Onions in a nest
There was a sign next to this pot explaining what kind of onion this is. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture of the sign or otherwise note down the information. I have a vague memory of it saying that this particular type of onion is native to South Africa (I might not have remembered this correctly though). If I get a chance I’ll stop by, check and update this post.
I liked the round shapes and the smooth and rough textures. I also like the way the onions appear to be in a nest made from the surrounding greenery.
Plantpots
I think it was the light that appealed to me here – sort of ‘dappled’ with interesting shadows cast on the pots. I also liked the arrangement of the pots – I’d never seen plant pots placed on top of each other in the is way (i.e. with the the bottom pot inverted as a base). Maybe it’s common, but I can’t recall having seen it before.
Horse and (dismounted) rider
Taken at a nearby public garden. The horses (there were more than just this one) had just returned from a ride and were about to be groomed and fed. I can’t really articulate why I like this one.
Seating arrangement
Interesting arrangement of objects seen in a nearby garden. I’m a sucker for rocking chairs.
