Watching the mountains for snow.

But first a hungry raptor and a chasing Pied crow security family.

This Jackal Buzzard was out on a hunt and he met with the unexpected.

Oh yes we have been swimming in the rain for the past weeks and just after drying, the rain comes to greet us again. We received a new storm warning and were told that we could expect some snow.
Now snow is always a novelty in South Africa, as it is nothing like the European countries.
But snow is snow and we love it.

This family of 4 crows decided that they didn't like the predator and they escorted him out of their territory.

Our temperatures continue to drop and hopefully it will create ideal snowing conditions.

The mountains look cold enough for snow and I don't know if that is the same Buzzard as this and the next photo was taken on my zoom, over a distance of about 6 kilometers.

Batten down the hatches! Cape Town braced for storms and SNOW .

With the Western Cape braced for yet another cold front to make landfall and bring with it gale-force winds and heavy rain that threaten localised flooding, the South African Weather Service (SAWS) have also indicated that some of the province might experience some light snow fall on Thursday 8 July.

Hey chief, he said, will it rain again today ?
So I acted like the weatherman does at times, No, it will not rain

I bet that he will never ask me for a weather prediction again hahahah.

We can cry or we can laugh about something that we can do nothing about. But can we really do nothing about the weather?
Of course not, as we can protect ourselves by staying warm in winter and staying out of the African sun in summer.

They are saying that we should batten down the hatches, but we are not like that as we are out there at every opportunity. Why sit moaning in front of a heater when there are so many challenges to conquer outside?
This might be our first snow at this side of the mountains.
Just my way of looking at things, as we are always rewarded by beauty.

And That's All Friends.
