Final weekend of our fortnight holiday, in May … to Ballito, Midlands and lastly, Champagne Castle Hotel in Central Drakensberg
I went for a walk-about in the afternoon …
Potting shed it was … aviary it is now .. and filled with all sorts of birds. Tricky to get decent pics through fine mesh
Hungry bunnies in the kiddies farmyard ..
‘Tis no wonder !! They are busy bunnies ..
Blue Crane, our national bird …
Beautiful setting for a chapel ..
Wish this was clearer but little ducklings waddle fast !!!
When I came along with my camera, mommy duck hopped into the water leaving all her little ducklings on the bank (how many ducklings can a mommy duck have? Is she a surrogate mommy duck too? I wonder)
Panic set in with all the ducklings so she hopped out and waddled off with her brood …
Self-catering chalets …
Large picture window of the chapel …
More Blue Cranes …
As evening fell, the air turned chilly …
Last morning and the final sunrise before our return home. First golden rays touch the highest peaks …
A sight to behold !!!
Cathkin Peak 3149m
Champagne Castle 3377m
The Drakensberg is a truly beautiful part of our country. ‘Til the next time …

Lovely images especially of the Drakensberg mountains, love the red glow. I got a similar image from the grand canyon with that amazing glow! You are correct – your country holds many glorious treasures (I’ve posted a few blogs myself). Thanks for sharing – A Wandering Memory

Simply stunning!!!
And you had me chuckling with the surrogate duck 😆
