We went away for a quick break to The Karoo National Park with my parents.

The open spaces and monotone landscape is refreshing and even though the break was short, we came back feeling as if we were away for long.

Up close the colours of the Karoo are much more varied and vivid and I enjoyed taking photos of all the little pieces of creation all around us.

It was fun showing the little guy all the animals, even though he slept through most of the drives out… Every time he was awake we saw ostriches, so now he thinks there are only really big chirp-chirps there.
