England in Cape Town

We went for a walk today in an area we never knew existed until today. My mom told us about it. In the Durbanville Hills there are a number of greenbelt areas. This one, near Welgedacht, is actually a series of mountain bike trails. It's one of the few areas where dogs are allowed.

As we were walking, we came up a steep hill to be greeted by this sight. It would seem that spring has come early to Cape Town!

The colour of the Oxalis was amazing - luminous yellow. Of course, in broad shots like this my phone doesn't pick up the hues.
But in close up you get the idea...


We were really surprised by how much it felt like we were walking in English countryside. Of course, we loved that, since we have such fond memories of walking in the English countryside - those were times that were like a breath of fresh air (literally and spiritually) after London.

My big girl - growing up so fast!
