Winter time sunshine...

 The weather was AMAZING on Sunday, right?  Absolutely perfect in every way.  The hammock even managed to go up for a bit and we had to go inside, because we got too warm!  We did a nice early morning walk on the beach with Jake and soaked up the sun.  The beach was very weird on Sunday morning, because of the super moon.  The tide went so far out, I've never seen it like this before.  In the picture below, you can see people walking on what is usually the beach, but with the super moon, the tide was way beyond the sand banks and the water came around like a lagoon.  It was amazing to see...

 Marius showed Jake how to look for white mussels in the sand banks...

The view from my own little island, looking up the beach...

Jake had a ball and we are all starting to really look forward to summer time.  I must say though, these calm, perfectly breathless winter days in Cape Town are, well, just perfect and I could have stayed on the beach for hours...

 Jake's always excited to find dead things on the beach and I have to help him inspect them, no matter how smelly they are...

 Scattered roses washed up on the shore...

 The flowers were also out - a sure sign that spring is on the way...

 The beach looks empty, but it was actually so crowded.  I'm sure the ice-cream man did really well...

 Jake enjoying the sun...

 More spring flowers.  I think the West Coast is going to be gorgeous this year...

 The gorgeous full, full moon that was supposed to have been 100km closer to earth on Sunday evening.  My picture is slightly under-exposed, but I like it this way...

If you missed it, apparently the 9th of September is supposed to be just as good!  I will be ready!

Sending love,
