Changing of the seasons

It is quite incredible just how quickly Jo'burg goes brown in winter. Yesterday afternoon I had a meeting in the South so instead of hitting the traffic immediately I ducked through to Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve for a quick run. I was last there in early March and the change is dramatic.

Some pics below.

Taken yesterday. Compare to pic below taken in the first week of March - similar location (white x marks the same plant.).

Fred running - early March. X marks the same plant. Late afternoon sun and a storm in the background.

Pic taken yesterday - compare to pic below. Similar area - maybe only 100-200m apart in location

Early March - lovely and green.

From the bridge - looks so peaceful in the late afternoon; and it was.
