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

Pragtig!! Foto 5,6 en definitief 7 lyk idilies….
HesterLeyNel
Dankie. Daardie drie fotos is toevallig oor ‘n periode van ses jaar in drie verskillende landstreke afgeneem. Ek het bietjie in my argiewe gaan kuier.

Sou nooit kon raai nie…

Amazing shots,dear Hester! Especially the one with bird letters. How intelligent they are in the South Africa.

Die laaste foto, Hester, wat ñ “beaut” het iemand daar afgeneem! Ek wil beslis weet wie die ontspanne model is…so natuurlik… Jou fotos is weereens pragtig. Elkeen net op die regte oomblik geneem. Is jy die fotograaf, of meisiekind?
HesterLeyNel
Die laaste foto is deur my dogter geneem (dis ek op die bankie) in 2014 in die Suikerbosrand Natuurreservaat in die Vaal Driehoek. Dit was een van my ma se gunstelingplekke waarheen ons haar naweke geneem het om ‘n bietjie saam met ons gesin te ontspan. Ons fotos is ‘n mengsel geneem deur myself, my dogter en my seun wat alles op een eksterne hardeskyf gebêre word en ek gebruik (misbruik) hulle almal in my blogs.

Ek weet die model op die bankie is jy. Daarom my opmerking. Julle is drie kranige fotograwe.
HesterLeyNel
Dankie. Ek word nou deesdae lui vir die kamera om my nek en spring net in as die ander twee fotograwe nie beskikbaar is nie.
zeckrombryan
Wow… superb photographic skills, you managed to freeze all of those within the frame of second, all of the beauty of Mother Nature captured in a single shot by your deft skills. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!
Toortsie
Fotograaf is jy beslis!
HesterLeyNel
O dankie en ek is ‘n goeie model ook! Dis ek wat daar op die bankie “rus” nadat ons ‘n paar kilometer geloop het.

Almal pragtige foto’s Hester!

Sjoe mooi… weer ‘n moeilike onderwerp
HesterLeyNel
Ja, hulle raak nou regtig abstrak en my paar boerepote staan plat op die aarde.

Heheheheh … met jou kop in die wolke?

Die sandkasteel (eks sandkasteel in wording) is my gunsteling. Maar alamal baie mooi fotos en die laaste ‘n baie mooi aktiwiteit! Ek sien jy het jou tema verander. Dit varser, mooier en meer georden
HesterLeyNel
Dankie Abrie. Ja, die tema is nogal maklik om mee te werk ook en georden soos jy sê – dit moet Harry Potter se invloed wees (dis die Rowling tema :D). Ek het bietjie moeg geraak vir die oue.
Kameel
Dit is sulke mooi fotos en maak ‘n mens lus vir vakansie….. veral daardie een waar jy so lekker op die bank lê. 🙂
HesterLeyNel
Daardie een is geneem (2014 dink ek) in Gauteng. Baie mooi natuurreservaat en gewilde braai- en piekniek-area oor naweke. Ek is lief vir daguitstappies; ‘n lang vakansie maak my kriewelrig. Ek en my dogter het tot onlangs so eenkeer ‘n jaar ‘n weeklange toer onderneem, maar nou is hier soveel te doen rondom ons dat ek gelukkig nie ver hoef te reis nie 😀
trommeltjies
Julle mag maar fotos neem – pragtig
HesterLeyNel
Dankie 🙂
