Oh how I long for those mountains, it's time to take a trip there some time! I have not actually been to this area, looks stunning with all the natural flora and fauna, thank you so much for sharing!
We've both been through the wars, hope you're on the mend soon!

Getting sick from time to time comes with the territory of being human, I hope feel better soon as well Lizelle.

This area is stunning, I highly recommend the self-catering option at Brackenburn, spotless and delightful! Cleopatra is much more expensive, if you have a caravan perhaps a visit to Highmoor.

A long weekend is ideal and not a long trip from where you live, have a lovely weekend!

What a fantastic post and place, @joanstewart. Even your "bad" camera takes great shots when you have such a good eye.

I wonder if the Double-collared Sunbird is a type of hummingbird?

I love all the rockscapes. Nature always finds a way.

And I am so, so happy for you are getting the tower idea to go away. This is the best win you could have :)

Praying for you and your health to go on being strong.

The sunbird and hummingbird are not related, but they have similar features due to their lifestyle demands! Nectarivores – Nectar feeders. Meat eaters are known as carnivores; plant eaters are known as herbivores. Diurnal – opposite of nocturnal; active in the day. - https://www.thefascinatingworldofforestry.com/in-sumatra-we-have-sunbirds-not-hummingbirds/

Hopefully this October when we go up the sun will shine for us to get photography of rocks, formations are amazing in the area.

Trust you are enjoying Bangkok and travel back home safely, thanks for the well wishes, yes that tower not being erected is a great relief!

Thanks for that very pleasant walk (except for the poor antelope's leg, poor thing!) It's great to see such different scenes here on Steemit!

Circle of life is never ending, we see amazing things in the wild when out walking. Thanks for the visit and enjoying @dmcamera.

I know. We all eat to survive. 😊

A lovely post here Lady Joan and how I long for those mountains.
But then again I also long for the Magoebas Kloof mountains and we are now here surrounded by the Hottentots Hollands mountains.

Imagine that! In our "modern" medical system a none diagnosis is once again delivered. Many hopeful ideas about what it might be, but no solid conclusion.
I am forced to drink a cortisone pill every day since my skin problem started in 2012 and I have to use a 3 mix, patly cortisone cream on the itchy spots also daily.
I have seen many doctors, dermatologists, skin biopsies (all benign) and heard a lot of thumb suck ideas about what it might be.
The end result is that we think my immune system is faulty. We, not the doctors.
Of course the costs almost bankrupted us, all for nothing!
Blessings!

Modern medical aid systems know how to bleed funds out of one quickly with doctors not solving issues most of the time. After paying into medical aid funds all your working life you would think they would give pensioners a better footing in the latter years, alas they still screw you exactly the same as taxman!

You live close to amazing mountain passes, I miss seeing the Cape but am in two minds of ever returning to wipe out wonderful memories I have of the region with modern development destroying so much.

Such beautiful flowers scenery and birds, thanks for sharing this lovely area with us

Thanks JJ, appreciate your visit!

Always a pleasure to visit ;)
