Rain, hail and high winds in Cape Town today with water just rushing off the mountain. On Boyes Drive above Kalk Bay this normally small trickle of water was transformed into a torrential waterfall whipping up froth that looked like giant soap suds.

Whale watching

Walking up the mountain above Kalk Bay this hazy morning we passed the Kalk Bay Shark Spotter who said he had not seen any sharks but pointed out plenty of Southern Right Whales.
Shark Spotters are positioned at strategic points along the Cape Peninsula, primarily along the False Bay coastline. If a shark is seen, they signal the beach spotter who sounds a siren and raises a white flag with a black shark which alerts surfers and swimmers to the presence of a shark.

I'm searchin for a pot of gold

The weather really doesn't know whether to laugh or cry! On Sunday we went for a hike in the Kalk Bay mountains and saw this rainbow over Fish Hoek - reaching up into Sun Valley.
With apologies to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young for substituting pot for heart!
