Week 49 of 52 - Early Christmas Special

There is no snow lightly falling
Nor the sounds of trumpets calling
But the sun shines its light of gold
As African drums beat rhythms of soul
For South Africa’s Christmas time
With food and joy and song sublime
Is one of warmth and not of cold
Full of magic, a mystery untold
The lion bows, the cheetah plays
They all know this glorious day
-unknown

Christmas in Africa
under a Southern sky
Where mountain mist
meets the seaside kissed
And a penguin waddles by.

Christmas in Africa
under a Southern sky
Where the bush pig roams
far away from home
And a sunbird sings on high.

-Margaret Kollmer

Hope you like this 'Early Christmas Special' haha - I realized when Christmas actually comes, Self Capture's 52 weeks will be over! So I thought I'd sneak a Christmas-sy one in, and bring in the Christmas spirit (btw its 59 days to Christmas!)
The song: Its kinda old; I recently found it again, and fell inlove and cannot stop playing it - Lenka is just lovley.

 THREE MORE BLOG POSTS TO GO AND THEN I'M DONE!

Week 48 of 52 - Reflections

“Reflection must be reserved for solitary hours; whenever she was alone, she gave way to it as the greatest relief; and not a day went by without a solitary walk, in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant recollections.”
― Jane Austen

Reflections... such powerful and magical things. I love the colors in these pictures, they inspried me today :)

Hope this brightened up your day! x

Bits and Bobs - Week 47 of 52

This here ^ is a short film I made. It's kind of 'in place of ' a Self Portrait, its still one though, just moving.

As you can see the title is 'Bits and Bobs' so I put two photos up just for fun, taken at different moments. Hope you like this spontaneous-ness of this blog post ! x

'High Walls'

'Close'

Just found out about Lorde. She is absolutely amazing, I'm inlove with her music, as you can see I used one of her songs in my moving picture movie. Thought I'd just share the whole song with you -

Hope you liked this bunch of weirdness, will be making a better effort next week!
Still trying to upload every single blog picture again (due to them ALL being deleted off my blog) so they will be up soon!

:)

Week 46 of 52 - Warmth

A flutter of warmth twinkled in her eye, as she watched the romantic inks entwine into a depth seeking sunset. - r j king

Yes, I didn't post last week due to the holidays... 

I stupidly went and deleted all my blog photos by a mistake. I am slowly uploading them all again one by one, so don't get a fright if you don't see some pictures :)

Thanks Abi VDH for the make-up, and joy-joy for the great help X

Have a lovely weekend!
