Sharing a Flask of Coffee in the Bush...



There is a photo that i am after...but with a sore heart :)
It's one i have taken with my eyes...
and i love it so..!

This past Saturday morning i decided to go...
 chase my shot :)

I woke my dear family up at around 6:30 with a quick
'come on get up...get dressed we are leaving in 10...'
there were a few moans and groans...from the teens...
it's winter here now and sleeping in on the weekend is lekker [lovely]
But they all came...bless them :)

this family...
we do...
 together...

Some were dressed... other not so much...lol
The flask of coffee i made was hot...sweet...and didn't have enough milk in...
but it tasted GOOD anyway :)

My plan was to drive past the way i ride to school in the mornings...
if i was really lucky ... they would be there...

they weren't :(
i was sad...
it didn't last...

We decided to see if the park gate keepers were already there...

i was real doubtful...
and then...
happily surprised...

Not only were they there... they were open...
Yay !

In we drove...all excited and set for a early morning adventure...

I now knew that i would not get the shot i was chasing...
but that...
 there would be others today...
and
i would try again another day...
i'll get my shot...
i will...


We drove around slowly for more than an hour...
it was glorious ...
early morning in the 'bush'...
 without really being in the bush and minus the danger...
I took stax of photos...
and won the kids over with...

 animal watching and hot... sweet... flask-coffee...

Why just this afternoon...
 as we headed home after fetching my littlest son from school...
BOTH the big kids [who were not all that keen at the start]
 commented that...
we WILL  go back...and take a picnic too...


This is how the day began...
just on the edge of dawn...
i stood on a bridge in cold morning air...
 to capture a moment...




This shot was a gift...
we were so close...about 2 to 3 meters...



Hot and sweet...



Edwin let Bradley steer for a little while...
Bradley LOVED that :)




This photo intrigues me...
all the different tracks...
bird...buck...human and car...
all on...this soft dirt road that flows like river of sand through their habitat...




Just keep walking...just keep walking...
one foot in front of the other...
until you find what your soul is searching for...
