Cosmos

Every year around this time, the Highveld blooms in the most spectacular soft colours. This brings some nostalgia, since I spent my childhood in the old Eastern Transvaal (Now Mpumalanga), where the dull landscape was temporarily transformed by a lacy pink and white carpet. I remember sitting in the back of my parents' station wagon, mesmerized by these lovely flowers, speeding by in blurs of white and pink.

Today's photos were taken by my talented fiancée, Thys. Enjoy!
