Keep the World Farming

I am fascinated by the incredible design of the passion fruit flower which epitomizes the word "exotic" for me.
On the farm in White River an abundance of flowers and fruit grow in solid walls of green, their beautiful fragrance all around as I capture it on camera in the late afternoon sun.

I marvel at the times we live in, which allow the fruit to be air shipped all over the world in a mere day or two after picking. To be enjoyed by someone living thousands of miles from here. But I am concerned about the many challenges farmers have to face. We should spare more than a thought for the farmers who put food on our tables. In South Africa it is becoming an uphill battle and I feel anxious for what the future holds for my son with the farmer's heart.

In Great Brittain there is an initiative called "Keep Brittain farming". Maybe it should be a global one.

'n Duisend Hande Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative [or creation] there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way." W.H. Murray, Skotse ontdekkingsreisiger ~ ❖ ~ Cause of Death Uitstalling Ariana in vervoering Musiek Wanneer jy dinge nie so krampagtig probeer beheer nie, jou oorgee aan die vloei van gebeure en oop is vir die onverwagte, kan jy saam met Ian McKellen sing. Ian McKellen gee nie om saam met wie hy sing nie, solank hy dit net kan doen.
