This afternoon after driving the wife to work , i decided to stop at this nature reserve that i had visited before to see if there would be any mushrooms and maybe some autumn colors in the trees .
the area i went to is called Bloeidaal here is the google map link : https://maps.app.goo.gl/DaSUMr7rJ8cpVeZm8
