Cataract Gorge on my doorstep

its a breathtaking place located slap bang in the middle of the city ... filled with diverse and unique flora and fauna it affords recreation and relaxation activities that is utilised by locals and visitors

twilight they seek out high points to perch upon... usually on top of a chimney

peacocks

they live in my garden - well they live in the gardens along my street and arrive at any time of a day. one is friendlier than the other; they lose their tail feathers in winter although spring must be close because their tails are growing again AND the birds are displaying their half tails.
