Early Spring And Heritage Day Or National Braai Day
A day to celebrate cultural diversity, at the moment the coastal region all back indoors with rain up the coast due to cut-off low with level 6 warnings for Western and Eastern Cape. This arrives hot on the heels of last weeks destructive storm surge that destroyed many coastal towns along the Western Cape shoreline.
Well the garden is safe, birds and plants are happy as can be with gentle rains falling outdoors the only one upset is Woody not wishing to get his paws wet, today I will share our Heritage Day.
Cultural heritage, of the many cultures in our country I think it safer to call the day 'Braai Day', when the sun is shining many would be outdoors celebrating together in one way or another. Using my photography to show how colourful we are.... Cheers to times and tide changing people!
Last night before the storm arrived large crowds gathered to share food, drinks and watch the South Africa vs Ireland world cup rugby game. Bad luck Springboks play better next time, still everyone gathered together in town gatherings to enjoy a splendid night out together. We start all celebrations early....
Majority of South Africans wish to get on with life, build a country back to a semblance of what it once was, have youth employed giving hope. Reason to live life without being given government handouts, people have pride and do thrive once opportunities are made available. Trust in system where 2024 voting will bring about more equilibrium, less blatant racial divide, or corruption as we are currently experience, this is far worse than witnessed prior 1994.
South Africans incorporate African, Asian, and European cultures, a captivating blend of traditions, superstitions, and culinary watering mouthfuls from each. South Africa Languages And Culture.
Perhaps one day I will share some of our wonderful people with their permission for now I share our nature where we learn tolerance and patience in keeping a positive mind through years that have been turbulent with change.
The continuous tug-o-war between being placed on a continent where we see much of both East and West, as Africans we need to find a way in coping that will be best for all and totally inclusive.

A strange post today with thoughts mulling through my head, storms disrupting lives not only here on our coastline, celebrating unity in being a vibrant country, very different in many ways, yet stand together when times get tough or celebrating together.
Thanks for reading thus far, not your cup of tea simply enjoy the photography and have a wonderful Sunday.

Rugby game is the one I heard from you. Have searched about it and oh I have seen this one but wasn't familiar to its name. Waiting for your wonderful people post. I hope they will allow you.
Happy Sunday.
Woody is rolled up in a tight ball on his chair inside, he doesn't like wind or rain. !LOLZ
Rugby is one of many games all enjoy especially when it comes to the world cup final.

Happy Heritage Day, I miss the braai.
I was asked yesterday if I will keep supporting the Springbok or All Blacks.
I laughed and responded Springbok of course, SA is a huge part of me, I can't just disconnect easily like that 15 years is no joke. I still do currency conversion and comparison to the Rand.

Beautiful photos, Joan. May your country achieve the prosperity it deserves. You have so many problems there that we also have around here, and what a coincidence here it is also election year 2024, but to be honest, I don't have much hope that things will change here. But who knows...
Live in hope, go in trust that some serving will have a change of heart in this world today.

I really enjoyed the photos but the text much more. I am not very updated on what is happening in South Africa right now, but whatever it is, I hope that through peace and democracy they can move forward. With such an incredible history, such a diverse culture and such a rich land in the middle of incredible nature, they deserve the best. 🙏
Many don't know where we are on a map, a friendly people, generally being abused by their own government, we can but hope to have change and develop once again soon.

For Cubans, South Africa has always played a role in our lives. You must know the long story. And for me in particular, the entire African continent hurts my insides. I love the cultures of the African people, it comes in our blood. My love and respect to all who do in some way to improve the life of this beautiful continent. ❤️💚❤️
Majority of people no matter where they live wish to be able to earn an honest days living, food to eat and a roof over their head that they can call home.
Political interference around the world has become the scourge of mankind, perhaps always has been, and always will be!
That's the way it is, it's always been that way, and as we grow up we become aware of how brutal it is. Meanwhile, we send love to each other to know that we are accompanied in the process. Greetings from Havana!!!!💚❤️💚
Take care and always be safe! 😉
💙💙💙
Oh yes the Springboks might lose their world crown in Paris this time.
Gorgeous pictures as always Joan and I love the camo in the insect at the top!
