Saturday critters after Saturday!

I've been a little otherwise occupied this weekend; not only socialising and doing my household chores but spending time with our little patient, Ambrose. He is improving by the hour but still very weak. His appetite increased slightly so I believe that by the end of this week, Ambrose' argument with a palisade fence will be a hazy memory in his little kitty brain. 

I also have quite a mix of critters (not all critters though) and hope I can still link to Eileen's meme. However here they are:

A beautiful veld flower still blooming in the cold conditions 

The lone resident Little Grebe on the dam

Skabenga smiling at the camera; Eddy staring into the distance favouring her hind leg

Overhead in the clear blue African winter sky is a helicopter

Leaving the city last week, we noticed a well-dressed elderly man hitch hiking. I had my camera ready and although I didn't want to point it in his face, I managed a clear-ish photo.  This is the umpteenth time we've come across  people like this standing along the National Freeway looking for a lift. I wondered why this man was "on the road". He didn't look scruffy like a homeless person. Was he a widower who'd been forced by financial circumstances to live with his son and wife? Did he have a disagreement with the family and they told him to leave? Or has he - while they were away at work - arranged with another family member in the bigger city of Johannesburg to go and live there? 

A pensive look from a discarded person perhaps? 

I'm hoping to still link to Saturday Critters here
