Photo one; we have named this regal cat "Tigre", note the spelling, as we don't want to offend any real Tigers.
Photo two; Sad to leave the squirrels behind when we moved, we now have our own squirrels.
Photo three; This is our new cottage and with delight we heard that the squirrels stay in the palm tree top!
As if we don't have more than enough of nature at our new place, we were also blessed with the mountains and the sea close by.

Hope that you have enjoyed the photos and thank you for visiting @papilloncharity

Now for the rest of the beauties!

This guy was screaming that he's the boss, but he doesn't have eyes in the back of his head hahaha!

Yep, you guessed it, we popped down to the seaside on a cloudy and dark day!

IMG_5336 (2).JPG

It was high tide and the birds were all flying across the promenade!

Do you think that the strongest will always win the seat on the lamp?

IMG_5344 (2).JPG

No, not always, as there is always someone better!

But then the lights came on and it was time to go!

Finally back home near our beloved mountains!

What an interesting day I would say. Our mission was to go and search in the used furniture shops for bookshelves', as we still have about 10 boxes filled with books and no space left to put them. But sadly this place is too expensive even in the used furniture shops and I can't pay my month's salary for one bookcase.
But as you can see in the photos, it did not trouble us and we will simply keep on searching, whenever the weather allows, as we have now regressed to intermittent rainy conditions.

Thank you once again for visiting a post by @papilloncharity

He looks beautiful but maybe just a little too fat. 😂

Hahaha, I thought the same my friend.
Maybe his owner spoils him a lot.
Blessings and thank you!

Fierce 🐅😊

Oh that kitty!! :D

Thank you my friend and there are some awesome kitties at this new place.
Blessings!

kitty? where? I noticed only a big hairy meat wineskin! @ewkaw

Thats the one :D

Always enjoy your photos Zac!!

Thank you my dear friend.
Glad that you enjoy them.
Blessings!

Very interesting shots were picked up. I like that there is something to pay attention to.

Thank you my friend.
I visited your page, but there was no post to support.
Blessings!

you sure are surrounded by some beautiful nature

as for the bookshelves there is what we call a students book shelve as an cheap option, you just need some bricks or concrete blocks and sheets of wood for the shelves, LO kind of tacky but cheap and would allow you to unpack the bookes till you find a resonably priced bookshelve

Hahaha, over here they use empty 5 liter cans and planks JJ.
Would not look too great when we have visitors.

On a serious not, I am thinking about making my own.
Will wait and see what happens!
Blessings!

Making your own is a good option I am nit crafty that way so it would not be an option for me lol

Tigre is too cute, I love him <3 His colours are just so lovely !!!

And yay new squirrel friend, also :D :D :D

Your cottage is very adorable! I love it! What a gorgeous home * ___ * I hope it will be a happy place for you and your wife for many, many years to come <3333333

And those birdies photos are really great! I love how there's always a 'boss' type amongst them :D

Finally, the mountain view! So beautiful !

What a nice comment here!
Thank you my dear friend.
I have looked at your page to return the support, but sad there's not another magnificent drawing yet.

I think you will also like today's big post about the squirrel and our little dog.
Blessings!

Tigre looks angry having a hissy fit, while squirrel slinking down the palm tree look chilled out. Much like the moods reflected on the shoreline and mountains.

Bookcases can become expensive, perhaps a few nice looking bricks, a plank or two, varnish or paint them to match the mood of the room, then use for stacking books as a temporary measure Stephen.

You describe the moods excellently Lady Joan.
I will wait for a while to see if we can find something and if not I will make a plan.
Blessings!

I love your photo, seeing them everyday is a part of my fine day :)

Thank you and happy to see that you appreciate my photos Vibi!
Blessings!

Love the story telling through the photos here man! The cat looks like he's ready to sleep though rather than pounce!

The birds must have really wanted that perch on the lamp hey! They need eyes and ears everywhere 😁

Thank you Sir Nicky.
The cat is fat and spoilt.
Competition is alive between birds and mankind.
Blessings!

Haha yes it looks like it is enjoying the upper echelons of feline society! Take it easy my friend

Thank you Sir Nicky and what an apt description of the cat's society.
Almost poetic here.
Blessings!

Haha thanks! Well there is a poetic monster in here somewhere 😂

So so beautiful - I would not mind staying there.

Thank you my friend and it is indeed a great place to live.
Blessings!

Wow, that squirrel on the move was a perfect moment captured!
Beautiful shots of nature as always dear Papillon!

Tigre looks ferocious! 😂 Great you have a lots of animals around your new lovely home.

Thank you Lady Jo.
Tigre is a fat lazy and spoilt cat.
We are certainly blessed with nature here.
Blessings!

I'm looking at the photos trying to decipher where you are.. 😂 Looks like somewhere in the western cape but I'm just guessing. Sounds like fun though. Hope you find a bookshelf. That cat is super cute 😍

Posted using Partiko Android

Thank you my friend and glad that you liked the post.
I think that I should keep you guessing where we are in order to get you to visit all of my posts hahaha.
Should we play the hot or cold game?
You guess and I say hot or cold?
I have decided to build our own bookshelf, if the planks are not too expensive.
Blessings!

😂 😂 😂 I would guess in Strand, Gordonsbaai area...making me guess not sure whether that's cruel or funny.. 😂 ...

Posted using Partiko Android

Ah! Hot and cold at the same time? Impossible?
We are close by so suck the thumb a little bit more hahaha.
Only joking a bit, we are in Somerset West.
Blessings!

Howdy sir papilloncharity! Wonderful photos again! I guess rain is better than snow! That neighborhood is an expensive part of the country to live?

Howdy Sir @janton, this place is nicknamed as the "Millionaires retirement city" and I can see why, as all of the old chairmen and business executives build retirement palaces here on the slopes of the mountains. And of course at the sea fronts.
Blessings!

wow that must be such a beautiful area, is that still in Cape Town?

Thank you Sir @janton.
One kilometer from our house.
The mountains are one kilometer in the opposite direction from our house..
Same place indeed.
Blessings!

Your wildlife and nature pics are always amazing but nothing beats a cat Roaring! (yawning).

Thank you my friend. Roaring?
I haven't thought of that, as that cat is too fat to roar hahaha.
Blessings!

Amazing what artworks can nature creates . I can sit all day and watch photos like this , in the right time and the right place I also like photos with phenomenal some times nature shows her power. Great job my friend, have a nice day

Thank you my friend.
Nature has beauty and also very destructive power.
We really need to respect and care for nature.
Blessings!

I just love seeing the areas where other people live. There is something about finding out if they live near water, mountains, and other geographical areas. For Scott and me it is the mountains that make me feel at home. We both seem to be drawn to the mountains ot the desert and Sierras. I loved seeing you had mountains near you.

Thank you for sharing your photos. They are such happy ones that brought a smile to my face.
Rwn

Thank you my friend and we are also mountain people.
This is the first time that we also have a beach close by and it makes for a heady mix.
Glad that you guys also like the mountains.
Blessings!

Oh that is a beautiful spot you have - I could see spending many joyful hours at the ocean and the magnificent mountain view!
Thanks for sharing!

We had to go and see a flea market tailor today who has a stall at a market near the beach. I think I got some good shots of some sailing boats today, but have not transferred from the camera yet.
Will see if I can post them today.
Blessings and thank you!

Hope you did get some good shots looking forwards to seeing them!
