Haiku 241
A New Hope – Because
Not all spiky balls are the
Corona Virus
.
I spotted this unusual flower at Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens, Cape Town, South Africa.
After a year spent mostly at home, I ventured out one morning to wander round this most beautiful of places.
It did not disappoint.
Fabulous photo and poem and how wonderful to be out wandering again!!

For a moment I thought you were referring to the Skywalker movies. South Africa has had it rough. Glad you came out none too worse for the wear.

I will send you some sunbeams 😀
SA is heading into its 3rd wave, but as long as we wear our masks and keep our distance, hopefully we’ll be OK. 🙂

Still no doggo – but things aren’t easy here in SA at the moment.
Still, so far so good!

Your post is such a welcome sight!!! I’ve been so worried about you, but I didn’t know how to touch base with you. Beautiful plant and great Haiku.

Aw Thank you so much Ginger. I have missed you too. 😀
I really didn’t intend to be away and was surprised how long it had been!
It just got too difficult with the power cuts – which still come and go out of the blue. – Like now again!
But all’s well over here and I hope you are keeping well too.
