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!

It was our turn to do lunch today and we'd planned on a braai. But then my dad invited six extra people round so we had to upscale our original fire to cook all the extra meat. Talk about working for your dinner!

We drove up to Tzaneen today to spend Christmas with my folks, brother and his fiancée. This is our awesome tree from one of the nearby pine plantations.

Driving back on the wide, open four-lane R21 tonight, I realised the road works were all worth it.
