These were, in good haiku fashion suggested by our recent visit to Namibia where the fragile life forces are just winning. It would be inspiring to visit at the end of the rainy season when life explodes briefly.

ReplyDeleteHi Jane
Loved your idea of 60 challenges and seems to me that you are having a great time and living life to the full. How inspirational! Your photos are sensational! I found your book perched high up on the windowsill in the ladies ablutions at Halale Camp in Etosha. It is now in Johannesburg and I am going to find a place to leave it. We live here and my daughters were intrigued with your concept. Happy Travelling and enjoy your year.

Thanks for that Vicky, good to know the idea (my niece's, see www.threebeautifulthings.co.uk) worked. Keep in touch, there will be some more Namibia photos presently.

Ohh, how lucky are you to get a response! I've never had a single reply to any of mine.
