I find little bits of nature that I want to take home, add to my garden…of course I can’t, so I take photos instead. These were little ‘gardens’ underwater, growing in amongst the rocks and the crashing waves.
I couldn’t have arranged it better if I tried..
Those little thingies at the water level are hell on your feet walking on the rocks!
My Christian friend was delighted when I noticed these two rocks…the squiggly line leading to the cross, hidden under the rock.
It isn’t painted on…its a light colour in the rocks!
Tucked away on a rock very close to the crashing waves at Still Bay in the Western Cape.
We always called these birds, Jesus birds when we were kids – cos they walk on water. Always fascinated me…
Taken in very late evening light. A few minutes after I took this shot – that light on the harbour came on!

These rock pools pictured above are not natural – they are ancient fish traps. They were built, rock by rock by people who lived off the sea thousands of years ago. 
We were taken there at low tide so I could photograph them, but I struggled to fit them all into one picture.
Above is a closeup of one of the walls. I took this info off the Still Bay Information Brochure: The seaward side slopes gently to make it easy for the fish to swim into the trap. The internal face is vertical and clear of debris and silt, so the “vywers” can be drained quickly and trap the fish as the tide recedes.
Below is a photograph of the brochure given out at the information office detailing the names of people who “own” the fish traps. Most of them are a half moon shape and vary in size and from what I could gather, some are better at catching fish than others. Nowadays, sadly, fish are scarce.
