A new concrete bee hive that is (we hope!) Honey badger, baboon and fire proof. It is surrounded by plants of the fynbos biome.
The photo qualifies as a #SilentSunday image because the hive is new and the bees haven't found it yet. But equally it is 20 km from the nearest town or tar road and so the silence is totally natural.

but have you ever even heard of the fynbos biome ?
A biome so unique in South Africa that it's earned an entirely new biome classification for itself. so many plants are endemic to this area, and ofc it's under threat of extinction.

A mountain pool refuge for bubbles in a hasty stream.
For those with a keen eye for detail, the water is a reddish brown colour caused by the Fynbos flora through which it flows

Day 3: Travel day so no new birds, animals, reptiles or insects.
However, a new #HotelCorridors and a bird and reptile from yesterday.

Helderberg nature reserve in Somerset West.
This bit of paradise sits on the edge of the City of Cape Town metro area.
A massive fire tore through here a few years ago, but the fynbos is doing what fynbos does: regenerating spectacularly.

@cybersyndrome I hadn’t heard of it before. I’m geofenced out of using the #Fynbos service, however. “Country not yet supported. Join the waitlist.” I see that @Jeremiah is on it, he might have some thoughts.

Common Storksbill (Pelargonium Capitatum)
From the Fynbos Biome
Beautiful and hardy, they survive scorchingly hit and dry summers with temperatures rising to 40°C+
Winters are cold and wet with about 80% of the annual rainfall during winter.#flowers #flowerphotography #photography

Walking with a friend on the mountain above Kalk Baai and didn't want to hold her up so all my photos of white flowers are a bit blown out.
Got rained on, which was nice.
Saw a big pod of dolphins from our viewpoint on the mountain. Lots of gulls flying above them, must be a lot of fish to eat.

Just back from a birthday hike in the mountains.
Marloth nature reserve perches on a stretch of the Langeberg Mountain range that towers above Swellendam, #SouthAfrica.
This range prevents most precipitation from reaching the arid Little Karoo landscape beyond. But this ocean side stays lush with green #fynbos.
We’ve just missed the local proteas in full bloom, but still a good specimen here and there.
