A short while ago I traveled to Bloemfontein (a city more or less in the middle of South Africa) to attend 5 dog shows. For those of you that know me, I do competition obedience with one of my Giant Schnauzers. We traveled over Oliviershoek Pass, through Golden Gate, hugging the border with South Africa and Lesotho and onto Bloemfontein (translated as "Flower Fountain"). On the way we passed the Woodstock Dam. Here it is photographed from the top of Oliviershoek Pass.
It is winter in South Africa so most of the trees have lost their leaves. I really liked the shape of this tree. It was photographed at the school where the dog shows were held.
As an aside, it was so cold on Monday 9 August 2010, that I had to borrow a jacket for Alex. This is a photo of her in her borrowed bright pink jacket.

It is exactly like most of South Africa looks in winter, dry and brown. We have had very little rain at the moment which is quite scary. I know most of South Africa has summer rains but still...
It went very well at the dog shows. There were 4 shows. Alex placed 2nd in the Novice class at the first show, came first in the 2nd and 3rd shows which forced us to move up into the next class - A Test. She then placed 2nd in her first A test show. I was so amazed and proud of her.
