There are so many cliches attached to speaking about the weather but at the end of the day it does affect our well being in so many ways, positively and even negatively.

Take this season for instance, the ending of winter and beginning of spring. It's like a roller coaster ride, one cold front after another arrive at this southern point and once in a while there is a breather rewarding us with a warm, tranquil, windless day. Its the Carp Diem day because the next one will be wet and windy.

In the previous post spring was in full swing and then we get a chilling reminder caused by snow capping the mountains nearby.

This is the scenic route in my neighbourhood were we do have the pleasure of the sight of snow even if it's distant. The possibility of a sunny, blue and colourful flowers with snow in the background is not so far fetched. (lovely paradox)

Anyway, I found 'snow' on my beach today. It's a small patch on the dunes but it's the popular coastal daisies nonetheless and when you see them in abundance it looks just like snow; with a figment of your imagination.

So many visitors use this very same scenic route to get to Cape Point and travel so far to steal a glimpse of these flowers that only open once a year with the sun and don't forget the whales that reach these very shores in the same time fragment.

We have all this on our own doorstep...
