Greetings from North West, South Africa!
If it looks like I had way too much fun on my walk today, it is because I did!
This week, I visited Geelhout Gardens, a magical place that has way more to explore and see than can be covered in one post.
Among other interesting little hidden gems, The Gardens, as we call it around here, has a very lovely plant nursery, adorable little restaurant, pet shop, art shop that also hosts classes on certain days and even a dress shop!
To add to the excitement of this walk, I finally, FINALLY, managed to buy the SD card for my camera, which I am absolutely in love with.
So, here it is, my favourite Wednesday walk to date:
A few shots of the nursery and entrance part of the gardens, I could wander around here for hours, they have an awesome selection of plants, flowers and even fruit trees.
Area with Ducks, geese and a few chickens. Bird food is available at the pet shop, my daughter loves feeding the birds!
Just a few steps away, there is an enclosed area where you can walk among many amazing looking birds. I spent a long time in here, it is always fun to get to interact with the birds, as they are quite comfortable around people.
sometimes these parrots will approach you, looking for food.
The inside of the bird enclosure, where you can always find something interesting!
Unfortunately, I do not know the names of any of these birds, but they sure are pretty and cute.
After getting a few shots of the birds, I decided to head outside again, as it was almost starting to get late.
It really is beautiful here, right?
I was lucky enough to be able to get some clear shots of the resident reptile today, something that doesn't usually happen.
After looking around for a bit longer (I had to skip over some things as I was accompanied by The Supreme Grand Master of Grumpiness, don't ask, haha)
I headed over to get a few snaps of the restaurant, which I would like to fully cover in a future post.
This place is seriously adorable! I just love the look of it and cute little details.
Thanks for walking and exploring with me! Till next time!

It looks really colourful there this time of year, such a contrast to where I am now where I look outside and can barely see anything in the distance, just a coating of fog!
A nice decent coating of fog sounds quite beautiful too! Would love to get some photos of that 😀 Pretty much always hot and green here
What a lovely walk you took us there. The photo with the iguana is quite surprising.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it isn't usually easy getting photos of it, 😀
Different kinds of beautiful birds have been seen inside the Gilhout Gardens. You have taken beautiful pictures of birds. You do very good photography.
Thank you! It is my first time using the camera, really loved it. 😀 The birds also helped a lot, they were so relaxed.
Thanks for the comment 😀 have a great day

Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)

Thanks! Had lots of fun with this one, have a lovely day! 😀
Aww, I am super happy that you are enjoying it. We need to get together sometime and talk technique... The images are awesome though.
Haha for sure, that would help a lot! 😀 Loving the camera so much, a million times better than my phone 🤣
A wonderful place for a leisurely walk. You can go to Pinmapple, find this place on the map, get the code and paste the code into the message, and we will all know where this wonderful park is located))
Didn't know that! Will give it a try! Thanks for telling me 😀
