Cherry Picking and Bains Kloof Pass

We went cherry picking again this year. (2 Jan)
You might recall this post.

I had my sister in law and niece with too which was really nice to share that with them.

We picked a huge amount. {made cherry ice-cream and cherry crumble with it-more on that in another post!) and froze a huge amount too.

The lovely orchards

Cherries in their multitude

Trees laden with them!

dandelions...

Spectacular rock pools way below.

sunflowers

then we took "the road less traveled" down to a vineyard. {hubby was in his 4x4!}

Gorgeous burst of color from these cannes.

The scene below I think encapsulates all what the Cape is...the mountains, vineyards, Cape Dutch style houses and bougainvillaea. I love this picture!

So that was our day cherry picking and an amazing scenic route home!
