I found that it was a struggle taking pictures of dolphins and I was missing out on the joy of just observing them.

It is a very special export flower for South Africa.<br />You must have felt frustrated for not being able to capture those elegant giants in the water... A great opportunity for seeing them!<br />Thanks for sharing with us again your many stops and adventures.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-40071047032350541682017-10-07T11:13:49.212+01:002017-10-07T11:13:49.212+01:00Dear Yoko - it was lovely getting two springs in o...Dear Yoko - it was lovely getting two springs in one year - the blossom was a delight to see.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-38818375516247019632017-10-07T09:45:59.429+01:002017-10-07T09:45:59.429+01:00Dear Rosemary - Your photos show that the exotic f...Dear Rosemary - Your photos show that the exotic flowers are shining with energy from inside and the 800 year old Yellowwood Tree looks almost divine.
