Cape Town Park

I took this photo during our South Africa trip at the end of 2017.  We spent a little time in this park checking out the plants, flowers, and animals.  I wanted to check out where this path went to, but I didn’t get the chance.  What a beautiful spot.  Can you imagine having this amazing park in your hometown?

Splash!!

I must have taken a couple hundred photos at this exact spot capturing the waves as they crashed up on the rocks behind the sea lions trying to capture the perfect moment when the entire scene came together.  I doubt I captured the perfect image, but it turned out pretty good.  In case you’re wondering, this spot is at the southern tip of Cape Peninsula in Western Cape South Africa.

Boschendal Winery

I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ll say it again.  South Africa was AMAZING!!  It’s on my “return to” list.  We had such a wonderful time.  Great food.  Beautiful landscapes.  Cool wildlife.  We lucked out with great weather.  Extremely affordable and we visited some outstanding wineries.   One of them was this cool estate called Boschendal Winery.  They had this great outdoor setting where we sampled numerous wines.  Here is the link to their site:  http://www.boschendal.com/

Hout Bay

It’s been a little while since I posted a South Africa photo.  And as you all know, I loved that trip.  Anyway, here’s a panorama photo looking over Hout Bay towards Harbour Heights on Cape Peninsula in the Western Cape region of the country…..  Just beautiful.  In case you didn’t know, this is in the Southwestern corner on the country on the Atlantic Ocean side of the continent.

Stellenbosch

This is such an amazingly pretty little college town in the Western Cape region of South Africa.  The architecture in Stellenbosch was this great Dutch style going back hundreds of years.  We spent an entire day out sampling wine and touring the country side.  We had a great day in this area.  Of course, I snapped hundreds (maybe 1,000+) of photos throughout the day like this one.

WMU Bronco

This weekend, MJ and I traveled back to Kzoo (Kalamazoo) to visit some friends we haven’t seen since we moved to Pittsburgh back in 2010.  This trip was long over due.  We had a great time and got to see some great friends, but I’ll say that I am exhausted.  Oh, and driving across the State of Ohio is at the top of my “10 Least Favorite Things” list.  It’s just such a boring looking State.  It doesn’t seem to matter where you go in Ohio; it is just plain boring.  How’d I get on that subject, anyway…..

While we were in Kzoo, I drove around the city and WMU (Western Michigan University) to see many of our old stomping grounds. 

While on the university campus, I took this picture of the WMU Bronco in front of their student rec center and basketball stadium.  When we lived there, I probably walked past this monument dozens of times on the way to watch NCAA WMU men’s basketball games.  Go Broncos!!

Special note: MJ and I want to thank everyone who took time out of their schedules this weekend to visit with us while we were in Kzoo.  Thanks.
