There is a new visitor to the wilder parts of the garden of late, what I believe to be a Cape Hare (Lepus capensis). It visits in the morningtide and again in the eventide, and is mostly unconcerned with my presence (though it is a wild animal).

Cattle on a Hill
I captured this impromptu photograph whilst out among the hills, late yesterday afternoon, and shared it with a friend. “It complements your art,” he said. The inverse, however, is true: my art seeks to complement it—indeed, the Overberg1 inspires the Theme (Wonder), Subject (Natural Beauty) and Style (Simple Lyric Poetry) of my work. Here, every resource must be husbanded, and the minimalism of the landscape is the result of drudgery. Both shape my attitude to words when I extol this region in verse.

This morning, a lesser peak of Steenbok Mountain aglow and at a distance, a small herd of (what I believe to be) Grey Rhebok.
