Spring has Sprung!

We are definitely in spring now. The grass-cutters are out in force cutting back the winter growth...

... the duck pond near to our apartment is teeming with new life...

... and tiny chicks born during winter are now brave enough to approach me...

One day I took a bag of stale breadcrumbs and as soon as I started to scatter them, the geese on the lake flew in, almost dive-bombing me on the bank! I made a hasty retreat, emptying my bag of crumbs quickly.

The geese were not the only jubilant ones this weekend, as South Africa won its first match in the Rugby World cup!
