Attie Heunis's Journey

The ramblings of a Caucasian African American

Category: About Us

  • So while I empathize completely with the Parisians, I can’t help but be sad that there isn’t a bigger outcry over the terrors that continue to play out in South Africa.

  • Having visited Hibernia Park in the middle of Winter and the first week in Spring, this was easily the most beautiful I’ve experienced it.

  • 6 months in… USA journey

    So here we are. We have been proud USA residents for 6 months now! Needless to say, but with a wife and two kids, but not the dog :-(, it has been quite a change from our somewhat idyllic lifestyle in Boesmansriviermond on South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Although there are fundamental political, crime & race…

  • Spring is in the air

    It certainly was not a cold winter by any means, but it is always exciting when Spring shows it’s colours. This week there was a shift in the air. Not convincingly or completely, but hints of the freshness and warmth. Also the plants in my garden have started flowering. Spring has arrived!

  • Cara word 5

    Vandag het ons Cara se 5de verjaardag partytjie gevier. Ek moet sê dit voel partykeer vir my surrealisties as ek dink sy is al 5. Waar het die tyd heen gevlieg? In ieder geval dit was ‘n lekker partytjie gewees. Al Cara se maatjies was daar en sy – in haar sneeuwitjie rokkie – het…

  • I don’t want to get our hopes up before receiving official confirmation, but according to the official US government website, my Visa application has been approved! I’m very happy about this. For our family & friends this is not easy though. It is a big move, but one I’m convinced is for the better.

  • Longwood Gardens

    On the advice of my cousin and others I took a trip to Longwood Gardens today. Quite honestly I was blown away. I have visited several botanical gardens, but truly this is was my favourite. It is one of the most impressive tourist destinations I have ever visited. Spectacular colours, deep greens, water works. It…

  • Hier waar ons bly is beslis ‘n seisoenale vakansiedorp so die grotere meerderheid mense wat Boesmansriviermond ken ken die luilekker somerdae. Maar ons wat die voorreg het om permanent hier te bly weet al te goed dat die plek op sy mooiste is van Februarie tot Mei.

  • My eerste ware padongeluk

    Ek ry toe gister, soos gewoonlik, Port Elizabeth toe vir my werksweek. Maar net so ‘n paar kilometer ander kant die Boknes afdraai kry ek toe ‘n plaaslorrie met 50 vrouens agterop wat oppad was om sigorei vir ‘n lokal boer te gaan pluk. Die lorrie het baie stadig gery en ek het gemeet om…

  • Makro fotos van my tuin

    My tuin is ongelooflik mooi op die oomblik en ek wou nou al ‘n ruk lank ‘n paar fotos van die blomme neem. Vandag werk ek van die huis af so ek het oor etenstyd ‘n paar fotos met my Tamron 90mm Makro lens geneem en hulle opgelaai. Die vetterige plantjie kom van my skoonma…
