More snow on the North Rim

When the National Weather Service reports no accumulation, how much snow is that?

Naturalists and Fee Collection building

It snowed on and off all day and we may have added another inch or two to the already existing feet of snow.

Tomorrow morning I take off for the South Rim for six days. It snowed there too. Saturday is Wildlife Day. Sunday no work all play because Mike is coming up that way. Monday and Tuesday is training with the South Rim folks. Wednesday return to the North Rim via Navajo & Hopi museums. Catch up with you all when I can.

SWF – A day of rainbows in South Africa

The day after my birthday I left Hermanus and drove along the southern coast through Kogelbrg Biosphere Reserve. It was a day of cloudy skies and intermittent rain.

Yet I was blessed all day with rainbows. More than I could take pictures of while driving.

I made it to the Cape of Good Hope that afternoon.

And spent the night at Moonglow B&B in Glen Cairn overlooking False Bay.
