A little town called Greyton

While in the Cape, I found some gorgeous spots to photograph, Elgin being one of the many which was filled with winelands and grapes and dusty roads.
We visited some family and stayed in a little town called Greyton. A sleepy place but very quaint - a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. We stayed in a B&B called "The Lord Pickleby" which has a wicked story behind the name - you should go there to find out about it. It is run by ex-Zimbabweans, so of course we had lots in common and will definitely visit them again in the future when we next stay in Greyton. A silly little fact which might draw the whiskey drinker in you to this town - the advert for Bells Whiskey - "Give that man a Bell's" where the flyfisher catches the keys with his rod, is filmed in a little pub there. Awesome!

The rolling mountains and fields in that area are just spectacular. Imagine waking up to these mountains every morning. I had lots of fun photographing the area as well as my aunt's horses and with each shot another spark of excitement glowed inside me!

Next was Hermanus. Again, I was gushing at the beauty of this place. No words can really express, hopefully my photos show it off better than I can explain.

Once we got back to Cape Town, we met up with some friends for some sun downers. Nothing compares to these spectacular sunsets!

Take a look at our short road trip in a few photos... and tell me you don't want to move to the Cape! ;)

The Chowles Family

What a pleasure it was to meet little Anais. Such a happy content baby with the cutest little smile. I wish I could've spent longer with them while we were in Cape Town - we miss you dearly and can't wait to see you again in Joburg.

Anais has this thing she does when she smiles where at the end of her smile she gives one last extra smile and her eyes just twinkle. She really did get the best aspects from both mom and dad!

I love Cape Town

Cape Town has always had a special place in my heart. We used to travel there as kids, and I have some awesome memories from that part of the world!
Dirk and I took a drive through Gordons Bay and Bettys Bay on the way to Lindsey and Ryans wedding. What a spectacular day! I just can't get over the skies and colours of the ocean. So so pretty!!
