Across the bay a tiny lighthouse Sits looking. Clouds looming over the sea. Enchanting. A rumbling, succeration The breeze. A gentle touch. - May 2026, Betty's Bay.

For #ForestFriday here is a #scape shot on the Otter trail. Starting at Storms river and ending at Nature's Valley this trail is truly epic. Here is a shot taken in the pristine afromontane forest. #BlueskyArtShow

Above the sky has fallen into dusk below a blue that bends and never sets. Me I am just wading through the waters, trying to catch the light. Photographed: Betty's Bay, January 2024.

Feet kissing wet sand. Waves gently pulled to the beach. An autumn chill sets in, as the sun slips away. Leaving a pink, blue, pastal portrait.

They were beautiful, intricate, and tiny.  Honestly if I didn't know any better, looking at their tippy tops, I might just have mistaken them for flowers. But they are in fact dung loving fungi. Or ra...

Doing well thank you, Michael. I think social media feels a big shallow these days. I have been feeling increasingly overwhelmed by all the Ai content, and "crap" out there, and have been avoiding sharing things. And on here, I think I am still finding my feet. Hope you are doing well?

Thank you Ronald, your kind word and feedback means a lot. Absolutely, the dual colours green-blue and amber-brown, and the gentle wave rolling in for me speaks about change, and how everything, the world, is constantly in motion, how every day hold something beautiful and unique.

Walking along the beach last week—silver light and electric clouds, and a rare 'amber rainbow' where the estuary meets the sea. Full photo essay in the link below. open.substack.com/pub/judithst...

Today, I watched some African Penguins being released back into the wild at Stony Point Penguin Colony. These birds are critically endangered, with only about 8300 breeding pairs left. This was a special day.

Early this year I had the privelage relocating a dozen baby praying mantis from our living room couch (I assumed they hatched nearby), into our garden. This baby I put on the surface of a canna leave, a surface right next to thick bushes which would provide ample cover. #BnWmacro #Blueskyartshow
Black and white photo of praying mantis nymph, likely the South African praying mantis. 

The mantis sits holds to the surfave of a broad leave, and the background positioned to the right is blurred.
