Nathan has been telling me for 4 years that we must go see the spring flowers on the West Coast... and this year we planned a trip between volunteers going and coming.
The first day was rainy, rainy... when we popped into this little pub for coffee.
We didn't stay in the castle rather we were in self catering units facing the valley for this beautiful sunset.
On a quest to find flowers on day 3 we drove as far north as Nieuwhoudtville... and were disappointed because we only saw a few flowers and they were closed up (they don't open up until 18 Celsius and it was only about 16)... but the falls were quite amazing.
Stopping for lunch as we were headed home the little petals started to spread, and color began emerging in the fields all around us!
As we drove back to Dunn's Castle carpets of color surrounded us... mostly yellow and white.
Day 4 -
Leisurely drive to Langebaan... check out the 4 seagulls that flew by as I took the picture of this flamingo!
Approaching Langebaan... this was the first multicolor field!
Our eyes were satisfied and we headed to Club Mykonos for the night.
Again the Lord provided another dazzling sunset!
Day 5 -
Knowing we had to drive all the way home, we started early for the West Coast National Park. Just leaving Langebaan was the first of many fields and fields... 
By 1pm we knew it was time to head back to Knysna... God had revealed His glory over the whole trip and we were back in our own bed by 9pm! We give Him all the praise for a safe trip!!
