During our nature walk in our garden yesterday, Jenna and Erin discovered these Millipedes, they were quite taken with them and so we found out a few interesting facts. There are about 10 000 named species of Millipede and the millipede that has the most legs has 375 pairs of legs. The longest known Millipede was 1.8 metres or 6 feet long. We studied them for a while and then they crawled off on into the garden again.
There were many preparations yesterday for Guy Fawkes and while the bonfire was being prepared the heavens above were putting on a marvellous show of colour, I had to capture it on film. It is the kind of colour, that when you look at it, it moves deep within you so that you can actually feel it filling your soul…
Once the sun had set the clouds took on a beautiful hue of white and charcoal grey, quite breathtaking…
Our bonfire that Jen, Erin and Kye built… Caiden was so ill yesterday that he missed out on building the fire, he feels a little better today though. My sweet boy…
Later, we all sat around the fire and sang songs, roasted marshmellows and made smores, soon afterwards, the skies opened and wonderous rain poured down…
My new Winter Pegasus horse…
Have a wonderful weekend.
Your spring looks so lovely. I’m glad Caiden is feeling better. The winter pegasus is lovely!
wow, beautiful photos, & that Winter Pegasus looks fantastic!
(not so fond of the millipedes, but my little one’s would adore them 😉 )
Wow, that Pegasus is so cute! I love his wings. Gorgeous pictures of the sky, it sounds like a wonderful night with the colors and rain and bonfire.
What gorgeous photos! The clouds…they are just…WOW! I hope Caiden is feeling better. ♥
Lovely photos…although the thought of finding those millipedes sort of made me a nauseated. HA HA.
The sky is just beautiful there…
Hi dear friend
Looks like you all had a fantastic celebration around your fire. I hope Caiden feels much better now – poor guy to be feeling so sick. Your pegasus is beautiful! Such amazing evening sky photos – so majestic – only in Africa…
We love chongololos!!! I will show Sol the pictures. Lovely to see pictures of them. In fact we even found a tiny, tiny one in our sandpit here which surprised us – the first and only we’ve ever seen here. Have a lovely week.
Another lovely post Linda. Your photos are awesome!! Looks like you had a fantastic time, what a great life you are giving your kids. Hope Caiden is better. Hugs!
Thank you for visiting acorn pies today! I love your knitted animals and handspuns! Beth
Lovely photos, m’dear. I especially loved the drama of the charcoal and shadow shades. We don’t do Guy Fowkes over here, and my husband’s name is Guy, which makes it awkward to think of the hanging and all – but I long for a bon fire on one of these coming-on-chill nights, and a sing and roast. I love dipping into your life. It’s like having a beautiful dream. And of course, anything horsey you do leaves me sighing in envy and covetousness –
It looks like your Spring is lovely!
Many warm wishes to you Linda!
What awesome pictures!!! Love your Pegasus.
Wow! Those pictures of the sky are so beautiful! I love the little Pegasus.
Hello Dear Lindiloo
I am stopping my knitting for a few moments to visit your blog today. I now have a shoulder pain that just wont go away. I am sure its due to many days of hunching over my needles. I do love your pegasus horse. I am glad all the kiddies are feeling better.
have a great weekend bud
