Sunday with Tobi: an afternoon in the gardens

Last weekend Sunday we spent the afternoon (with a picnic) at Kirstenbosch Gardens. It turned out to be quite warm and the flowers were amazing!! That's Jim and Tobi lying on the blanket.






Above, a pincushion protea. These only bloom in winter - and they only grow in the Western Cape!! No where else in the world!! (oh wait that applies to 1,400 flowers. Incredible, isn't it?)

It looks like it was a beautiful day to go to the park. We are planning on going to Starved Rock tomorrow to admire the trees, but we'll see. Our hot water heater just went out. =(
