Yum! Cape gooseberries remind me of my grandfather's garden. He had all sorts of things growing in it, and I was particularly fond of the cape gooseberries, and the mulberry tree. He could grow almost anything in our garden, even stuff that didn't normally like our milder weather here in Auckland, New Zealand, such as bananas and figs.
Your photos of the dragonflies are stunning, such detail with the macro photography. You must've been very patient, as I know that the dragonflies around here wouldn't often wait to pose for a photo – they like to zig, zag, and dash off somewhere quickly.
Wow, so you had Cape gooseberries in NZ. I thought that it was only available here in the Cape, but it makes sense as many Saffers have emigrated to NZ and Aus.
Yes, dragonflies should have been named waitingflies, as they normally take a lot of time to get.
But I was lucky, as my first year of owning a camera was spent on getting dragonflies. A friend who is a qualified photographer told me that if I could get dragonflies on camera then all else would be easy to get. He was right of course.
Have some !PIZZA
My maternal grandfather was born in Nairobi, Kenya. 😉
Ah, so you have some African blood in you. Always a good thing 😊
Yes, I'm a real mixture. My father was Hungarian, my mother British, but her line is descended from French aristocracy who fled to Africa during the revolution. Apparently the French connection also intermingled with the Greek bloodline further back, too. My grandfather spoke some Swahili at home when I was young. But then he was a Biblical linguist and scholar, so that wasn't surprising, haha.
Oh yes you are a pedigree breed !LOLZ
Mind you I am also a mix of nations and I have a strange accent that everyone remarks on. Even I don't know where it comes from.
It seems that most of the early migrants had some form of Biblical experiences.
One example is David Livingston that did great things in Africa.
