There's a cute little vestibule where the minister can change into his robe and enter/exit the chancel, and slip back in around the back (front) through the foyer!

One of many beautiful flowering trees ~ Protea, native of South Africa
There is also a large population of spiders, evidenced by their webs crossing our paths! (Can you see the web around the middle of this picture?...)
Another couple of spiders' webs

A web outside the manse - above our heads!
Stunning grounds, I must say! :=) These are just some of the many reasons we're blessed to be here.
