Admiring these 2 fluttering beauties just hanging about soaking in some vitamin SEA on the rocks around Park Rynie Beach.
Back one is a Black-Headed Heron and the white one is an Egret.

Stunning midday SEAnes around Park Rynie Beach.
Then as we got home this extremely hot berg wind came through, a sign of an upcoming rainy and very windy cold front coming up our coast this weekend.

But I’m sorry that Berg wind today wasn’t the normal
berg wind we usually experience along our coastline before a cold front. My sister-in-law read 39°C in her car, absolutely H🥵T.
It’s cooling down a little now as we now wait for the frontal system to come through.

Cool to spot my first shongololo aka millipede back for the spring summer season.
Definitely a favourite of South African childhoods when spotted in gardens and bushveld adventures and great weather forecasters of approaching rains which is predicted for this weekend.

The word “shongololo” comes from the Zulu and Xhosa word ukushonga, which means “to roll up” so when touched or scared, it rolls its hard body into a tight spiral to protect its soft belly.

Just soaking in the different views of the Mahlongwa River, 1st section is one where we walked the trail alongside the river behind the hills of Crocworld and the 2nd part is us driving over the river on the R102 road towards Scottburgh as we look onto the arched rail bridge around Black Rock Beach where on the very odd occasion the river will open up into the sea.

Did a bit of different scenic walk today with the furbums…so instead of our usual beach walks, we parked at Crocworld Conservation Centre and took 🖤Shilo and 🤍Luna around the Badger's Cycling and Sports Centre Scottburgh Trails. The senses went into overdrive with all the different smells, views and a longer walk.
Well I don’t think any security checks will be taking place tonight as both are snug as buggered bugs in their beds in the lounge at the moment 🐾💤

Took a little Sunday drive to Bazley Beach and got to enjoy a morning wander around the Shangrila Food and Craft Market.
The garden and seaviews at this amaSEAing holiday home is absolutely spectacular and of course spotting a few whales just made it extra special.

Shangrila is a luxury self catering home but every few months they open up there place for a small market day where most of the funds go towards the Bazley Conservancy 💚

When a private little pathway leads you to beautiful quiet beaches like this.
Spent the morning wandering around the Bazley Shangrila Craft and Food Market and just loved this garden pathway that took me down through a small coastal forest which then opened up to these stunning SEAnes.
