Join me on an incredible four-day journey as we cycle along the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) bike trail from Pittsburgh, PA, to Cumberland, MD. With my Trek bike, biking accessories, and camera gear in tow, we set out to explore the stunning landscapes and historical landmarks along this iconic trail.

This post serves as a collaborative journal between the 4 of us (especially where food is concerned 😂), so may be a bit verbose in areas. Hopefully readers will find some of these details useful. The Lead Up After a crazy year, both from work & life perspective, the Heunis family needed a proper break…

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!

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 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…

Eergister is Wangari Maathai, stigter van die Green Belt Movement, oorlede aan kanker. Sy was 71. Mense wat my ken sal weet dat ek in die laaste 4 of 5 jaar min beïndruk is met Afrika se leiers. Ek het in 2006 teruggekeer na Suid Afrika vanaf Engeland met ‘n liberale uitkyk op Afrika van “gee…

Vandag was een van daai spectacular dae wat ‘n mens net weereens laat besef hoe gelukkig ons hier in Boesmans is. Lae 20s en baie min wind. As jy hier bly raak jy maar gewoond aan die wind, maar as daar dan wel min wind is, dan is hierdie ‘n paradys. Ek het van die…

Vandat ons huis in 2008 klaargebou is het ek as ‘n totale leuk begin tuinmaak. Wel ek besluit, maar die tuinjong doen die “maak”. Ek moet sê ek vind dit ongelooflik stimulerend. Ek probeer so veel inheems gaan as wat ek kan, maar ek het ‘n paar uitheemse plante ook. Soos enigeen in die omgewig…

Ek was ‘n programmeerder (op verskillende vlakke) in Engeland vir 7 jaar. Soos lesers sekerlik weet is programmeerders redelik “geeky” en meeste mense sou sê relatief intelligent. Ek het sekerlik ‘n honderd kollegas gehad in hierdie periode. En ek kan eerlikwaar erken dat ek net 1 kan onthou wat nie evolusie aanvaar nie. En hy…
