Noordhoek Beach picked up some tiny, very blue visitors on Friday night, with blue dragons and blue bottles along the high-water line. They sting even when they look lifeless, so keep shoes on and dogs on short leads.
The Cape Town International Kite Festival, now in its 32nd year, filled the sky on Saturday, and Cape Mental Health used it to start a conversation. CEO Ingrid Daniels said kites soar against the wind despite a fragile string, which is a fair picture of how many people cope.

Two killer whales, a big male and a female, have made it to False Bay after a fortnight working their way along the coast from the Eastern Cape. Simon's Town Boat Company found them with help from land-based whale spotter Pete Morgan, and marine scientist Dr Simon Elwen's team took DNA samples and fitted the female with a satellite tag. The pair spent two hours alongside the boats on flat, calm water, so researchers should soon know where they head next.
