Nope. Lovely day at the beach.

Not long after the Great Fishing Expedition I seremoniously parked my fishing rod at the #tidalpool to indicate the end of my fleeting fishing career #🌊 #southcoastkzn #kznsouthcoast #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #kzn #fishing
The very next day I was again invited on the Great Fishing Expedition. I’m not one to miss out an adventure and I promptly confirmed my enthusiastic intentions to share this pastime with my children by catching a beautiful zebra fish (called a Wildeperd in this part of the world). Once again the only catch of the day 😁 The rest of the holiday saw the siblings slipping off quietly in the mornings (without the parent) to play catch-up. Not very successfully, I must add #🌊 #southcoastkzn #kznsouthcoast #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #kzn #fishing
This little rock cod did not even have an opportunity to enjoy the squid that I so lovingly prepared for him. My son came to visit and I tagged along with the Great Fishing Expedition. In the end, I was the only one who caught any fish (size is not important in this instance – every little fish is counted). The siblings, being experienced surf anglers, were not impressed by this turn of events 😂 #🌊 #southcoastkzn #kznsouthcoast #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #kzn #fishing
Covid lockdown 2021 – I think this Rainbow Wrasse was my last victim before the lockdown regulations were lifted and I decided to give up on my non-starter fishing career. By this time my long suffering daughter insisted that I should learn to bait my own hooks and that was too much for my nervous system. I remember using mussels for this catch 😖 This photo ... we were getting VERY good at telling tall fishing tales 🙄 Back into the water went the little fishy, and back to swimming and beach walks I went. #🌊 #southcoastkzn #kznsouthcoast #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #kzn #fishing
Covid lockdown 2021 – fishing from the beach. This one was identified as a Blacktail – very common in this area. The size looks quite impressive, don’t you think – it wasn’t, actually. We were just learning to take better photos. Stand back from the camera and lower the fish towards the camera lens. Back into the water went the little fishy #🌊 #southcoastkzn #kznsouthcoast #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #kzn #fishing
Covid lockdown 2021 – fishing from the beach although I am still very wary of the unpredictable waves. A Spot Damselfish | Spot Sergeant was my next victim. Identified by local fishermen or maybe with the help of the internet. Back into the water. They can grow up to 25cm and this one still had some growing to do. #🌊 #southcoastkzn #kznsouthcoast #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #kzn #fishing

Mag dit tog orals reën. Ek kom agter, daar is van die boere, wat amper wil begin paniekerig raak.
HesterLeyNel
Dis ‘n lelike droogte hierdie en daar waar ons wel begin reën kry, is daar vloede.

Die kwallen ( jelliefish ) zijn ware kunstwerken!

Dit is werklik pragtig – die een moes net uit die water gespoel het, want hy het nog beweeg.

Daardie eerste foto is besonders alhoewel ek ‘n reeks griffels kan skryf oor my nie-positiewe onderonsies met bloublasies. Reen op die oomblik in Bellville

Daai een was nog heel lewendig en het ons ‘n paar oomblikke groot vermaak verskaf. Hier is nie baie van hulle nie, so ons is nie te veel gepla met hulle nie. Dankie vir die inloer.

Wow!
Kameel
Daardie eerste foto is besonders!!!
HesterLeyNel
Is dit nie? Karen gee nie om om plat op haar maag (of rug) te lê om ‘n foto te neem nie.
Kameel
Yep, dit is soos dit gedoen word…. en die rede hoekom ek opgehou het met fotografie.
HesterLeyNel
Dis ‘n lekker tydverdryf, maar ek verkies meer om landskappe te doen en dan natuurlik my kinders af te neem – mik en druk. Dit beteken ek hoef nie myself op te hys van die grond af nie!

The blue thingimajiggies look positively scary. Hahaha! Beautiful blue! 🙂
HesterLeyNel
They are actually; one sting of its tentacle can cause severe pain for a few hours. Best to steer clear of them, but luckily we don’t see them too often around here. They are beautiful though.

Oh gosh! I’ll stay away. Haha!
