[ EGBDF ]
Mnemonics are frequently used to teach kids (and adults, I suppose) various aspects of music theory. 
EGBDF are the notes on the lines in the treble clef in the music stave. The rhyme in Afrikaans had something to do with dew drops glistening on every green leaf.
I can't remember exactly how it goes, and the F at the end does not seem to fit, and it doesn't help that the incomplete and incorrect thing has been running over and over in my head the entire day. The picture tells you why.

I was chauffeured to work this morning. Normally I take the van to work since I am closer, and Nini takes the (more fuel economical) car to college. Today my precious one had a check up with the interventional radiologist who performed his procedure, so he needed a vehicle. Which is why I could rubberneck and click the camera to heart's content from the passenger seat.
There were not a lot of clouds about, which meant that the sun tinted the fog to the East a glowing red and pink. Just a little visual variation in case we were getting blase with the morning scenery layered in the misty veils.

Since I already had the camera out, I just ducked inside the lab to drop my bags and grab a cardigan before heading back out into the parking lot to capture more of the amazing morning. As I wandered compulsively snapping around the parking lot, I almost literally stumbled across a section of weeds and wild flowers. They were heavily bedewed, and I was getting really annoyed with the chain link fences ruining my foggy shots.
So, I squatted down at the side of the road despite my creaky, complaining knees and attempted to get in close. I have no idea what the guys driving past me must have thought when confronted by the low moving hump looming through the mist, resolving into the sight of a woman crouching among the weeds by the side of the road outside the lab.
The macros themselves we'll save for another day.

Oh, I almost forgot. The check up went well - the doctor was happy with mpo's progress. Pain has gone, movement is much improved, and generally he feels far better than before. It must be a great feeling for that doctor to see the direct improvement he had on the quality of life of someone else. And what a great difference it has meant for us.
