Soft, dreamy sunlight streaming through the leaves, birds singing and a calm stillness all around. Walking through the magical urban forest of The Wilds in Johannesburg always does wonders for my wellbeing πŸ˜ŠπŸŽ‹πŸ¦ŽπŸ¦‰

Out on a beautiful sunny late afternoon stroll. Strangers passing by greeting each other as if we’re good friends, couples of all diversities holding hands, cyclists, walkers, families, pups, all enjoying the outdoors. I love Johannesburg and summer here! πŸ₯ΉπŸ«Ά

Unbelievably beautiful day hiking Moreleta Kloof in Pretoria. All this nature, forests, flowers and wildlife right in the capital city of South Africa! πŸ¦“πŸŒ³πŸŒ·πŸ€

A visit to my favourite museum in the world, McGregor Museum in Kimberley, South Africa. As a young kid, I lived across the street and spent many weekends here exploring, learning, and nurturing my interest in South African heritage and love for the natural environment. πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦β€οΈ

Love this new mural titled "Kindness is Contagious" by artist Themba Dreda Malaza and partner Marcia Majavu. It’s part of the β€˜If Walls Could Talk' Programme by William Humphreys Art Gallery. It inspires kindness and brings positivity and colour to the city of Kimberley in South Africa πŸ˜πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ™πŸŒˆ

So much happened in 2025! I graduated, went to new places, gave back to my community, high school reunion, and pushed health goals. Grateful for a full and blessed year. I gave it my all. Excited for what 2026 will bring. Wishing a prosperous and Happy New Year to you! πŸ€—πŸŽ‰πŸ₯‚

Parkhurst has the most spectacular sunset views in Joburg. No one can convince me otherwise. Just look at this evening’s colour display! πŸ˜πŸŒ‡

As I’m about to drive off, the Sandton parking lot boss leaps onto the hood demanding β€˜Parking ticket and pets, human. Pay up.’ 😼😹

Running through these in summer was a joy and relief from the sunshine.

Much gratitude to the humans who planted them in the last century.

Johannesburg parks earned major international World Urban Parks awards this week for leadership, environmental conservation and community participation. Huge congrats Joburg Parks and volunteers who protect our green spaces. The world is noticing what we’ve always known. πŸŒ³πŸ’š
