The 26th Autumn Leaf

A photographic journal of my 26th year

Lucy Rip

“You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.” These words by Robin Williams are the inspiration for this blog. Since I found that quote I have been on a quest to find the ridiculous madness in life - the kind that makes you laugh long and hard at its absurdity. I've decided to share my gems of discovery here. A candle loses nothing by lighting other candles and I suspect madness works in much the same way.

A bit about me... I'm a twenty something, living in South Africa. In my spare time I embark on ambitious house decorating projects, bake cookies with my Russel Hobbs cookie maker and hack my way around the occasional golf course. On a more serious note - I write for a digimag called illumin8. Visit www.illumin8.co.za for details or email "subscribe" to illumin8ezine@gmail.com. Its FREE!

The big cloud is the spray from the Falls. And that's a hippo on the right!

My leg was gashed on a rock when we capsized on rapid seven yesterday. So 2011 has gotten off to a bit of an immobile start for me.

As seen from the air. We started off our day with 'The Flight of Angels', a helicopter ride over the Falls.

Today we arrived in Vic Falls, Zimbabwe for a five-day stay at the Elephant Hills Hotel. Nothing like a cold beer on a hot day in Africa.

We made Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve for the first time ever. Marlies and I were responsible for table décor, the starter and dessert. We made a pied chocolate mousse to round off the meal - was so yummy, even if I do say so myself.
