God's promise.

True to form, as with the whole of the past summer, storm clouds started to build up all around us yesterday afternoon.



God's promise. This vivid partial rainbow appeared in the sky to the east. The specs on the photo are small raindrops on the camera lens.


The storm clouds gathering.


A perfect cloud, boiling with energy.


Away to the north east the rain was already falling. The rain only started here on the farm after 7 pm, but then it made up for it's delay by coming down in buckets.

A blessed Good Friday and Easter to you all.

Exploring.

The dogs and I took a walk this afternoon to explore our new territory. This farm is big and intensively cultivated with all the fields irrigated by center pivot irrigation.

Some winter wheat ripening. 



Some very curious calves.



"What do you think it is?" These calves found Bruno facinating.



"I'm the man!" This big guy also came to say hello.



Threatening skies and a fence line stretching to the horizon.



"The promise". A rainbow stretches across the sky.



A center pivot irrigation system stretching way into the distance. (this picture needs to be enlarged). The water for these irrigation machines comes from the Little Bushmans river that runs through the farm. To explore this stream is one of my priorities, fish that might be found in it are Natal Yellow fish, (scaley) and small mouth bass.
