Here on the south shore of Africa within a Stone's throw of the Indian Ocean I was able to take a new and more colourful tour of the forest region that hug is this glorious coastline for many kilometres. And on today's hiking Trail my meanderings brought me into the region of a truly magical garden.

At this time of year as the summer approaches I was able to feel myself transported into a veritable wonderland that was akin to that of Alice in one of her most sublime moments where he had fallen down the Rabbit Hole and entered the world filled with fragrance so uplifting that she may have felt as if she was in heaven intoxicated by the heady aroma of wild rose at the height of it passionate exhibition of colour and fragrance.

A rose by any other name smells just as sweet here on the southernmost coast of Africa.

Right now the southernmost shores of Africa are living up to their reputation has a place called the Garden Route. It truly feels like paradise just strolling through the indigenous Forest and encountering such natural exquisite floral displays scattered here and there as if mother nature had decided to randomly sprinkle her bountiful colours all over the surrounding green vegetation simply to add a sparkle and the last year like that of gems across the already beautiful and life- affirming terrain.

The feeling of joy and bliss is easy to find among the indigenous forest of the Garden Route region on these African shores.

Hints of summer approaching in the south after a particularly wet winter.
Hints of summer approaching in the south after a particularly wet winter. 

My hiking Trail filled me with fresh hope for the future after the rather daunting winter that is just passed. All the relatively mild compared to the rest of the world the increased rain and wind over the past few months certainly tested our Endurance as we waited day by day for the return of the sun and the life-affirming summer months we're on the south coast of Africa. This winter drove US into a deeper sense of hibernation than usual with it or challenging wintery weather conditions. However now that spring is here and the premonition of summer already lingers in the air it's so much easier to feel hopeful and get a glimpse of the joy and ecstasy waiting out is the full Force of summer arrives and we can bask once more and it's life-affirming and dazzling ambience.
