Walking this morning in the crisp autumn air made me appreciate that the season has changed. I am now waking up in the dark and pottering around the house in the half light as the sun seems to slowly rise.Well the wood is ordered, delivered and Fred cleaned out the chimney, so we are ready for the winter here in Johannesburg.
The colours are beautiful at Delta Park at the moment with the leaves that have turned.
Its hard to believe that I have lived here since I was 17, coming to Wits from my home town of Vanderbijlpark. And in all this time I have never seen the 'alien' but so beautiful Ring-necked Parakeets which are well known in most of our friends' gardens.In fact both Neil and Martie have invited us to come and see the parakeets at their homes but we never got round to it.
We were out very early today and within 15 minutes we found a pair at Delta Park and reveled in their raucous calling and beauty of their ring and the shades of green and torquoise.
