Different faces of the Sentinel

View from the Kom

Now you see it now you don't

The Sentinel at different times of day in different weather conditions. Sometiimes very bashful and hiding behind clouds, other times brazen. The one day we caught a rainbow displaying full colours.

 Each time we leave the house it looks different. The sun can shine at sunrise, it can rain in the morning and the sun will come out in the afternoon again. Never a dull moment. I love the surprise of it. Slogging hard, then coming out and seeing the rugged beauty of the kom and its surrounding area.

Burst pipe

Water bubbling out of the ground

We had a burst pipe. Two young men to the rescue. Our local plumber putting in a new piece of pipe as the old one had sprung a leak.

Oops! somehow it lost its orientation.  You'll have to look at it squiff for now...  not in the mood to fix it.

Cape Clawless Otter spotted

I Spy: Cape Clawless Otter in Kommetjie

The Sacred Ibis are keeping a respectful distance.  Hugh ran back to the cottage to get his camera and take a picture.  The otters have a nest somewhere along the coast here as we see them time and again.  She looks rather rotund.  Could she be pregnant?
The otter is quite difficult to spot.  Just look right in the middle of the picture.

Here is a picture of just his nose sticking out the water.

We watched some movies on Wednesday (voting day) , one of which was called  Ratatouille which reminded me and I made my favourite Ratatouille Recipe this morning.

This afternoon we had a wedding close to the Slangkop Lighthouse and this evening we are having a spectacular sunset of mauves, pinks and other in-between hues as a result of the clouds.  Gorgeous!
