A bit before 6.00 a.m. and the sun is beginning to rise in the east. I'm on my way to the baobab trees. The area in which we live is really on the outskirts of the city, and not much walking needs to be done to get me out of the housing area and into the open spaces.
This is the trunk of one of the trees, beginning to be hollowed out. It reminded me of creche, a perfect Christmas scene. Everything is extremely dry these days, with rain expected in about a month. You can see the color of the soil.
Isn't it a beautiful tree? And the background is pink with the sun starting to lighten the sky. There are only a few blossoms on this tree this year. These trees blossom in the driest part of the year, so that their seeds get the maximum rainfall possible for growth. Nature has her ways.
These trees have such magnificent blossoms, pure white and esquisitely formed. It's a bit hard to see on this picture but can you see the bee having its breakfast?
This shot was taken up through the branches and the moon is almost ready to set.
