my impression of south africa

you know, the sights and colors are just amazing about south africa. the colors of the sky, the plains, the mountains..

the skies are ‘bluer’, the trees, plains and shrubs appears in an amazing spectrum of colors, the stars at night (sorry, i have no pictures for this) are so beautiful. and yes, when the say the stars in africa shine brighter, it really does feel so!

this entry is not going to document my journey, but to share some of the amazing landscape colors of the country. i do have some issues (hard disk and memory limitations) right this moment, so I have to find a way to convert all those RAW files into jpeg so that I can upload them. in the meanwhile, here’s some colors of nature from my lens.

pardon the big pictures. small pictures don’t do them justice.

these pictures are taken on the journey from johannesburg to nelsprit.


i love how the shade of the sky is reflected on the lake and that the lake looks bluer than the sky.


the journey along the roads, it just stretches non stop for hours.


i love how far you can look at the horizons and they never seemed to end with mountains and fields, and how the colors changes along the journey.

cows grazing along the mountains


dukus in hiding


a group of impalas quietly grazing


doesnt this picture gives you an immense sense of this feeling – WOW, i am in africa.


4 pictures placed side by side to give you the picture before my eyes. that, my friend.. is how a safari looks like from the top.


notice how random sprits of green appear in a sea of brown?


i could stare at this picture forever. doesn’t the colors just lifts you mood?


of trees and sunset.

and for the record, none of these pictures has been edited. i don’t have the time to, and i didnt think it was necessary!

hope you like them as much as i do. and for the professional people, please don’t frown at my pictures (for whatever reasons like terrible framing etc). if you don’t like it, do close your browser! for those who loves them like i do, so drop a note and let me know!

looking at these, i do want to frown on my city life here, chasing after all things material, or just trying to struggle and make ends meet. i do wish to join that part of the nature, enjoy all things untouched and enjoy the joy that nature has to offer.

heading to bed. g’nite!

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
