Baobab


One of the most incredible baobabs that we have seen for a long time. We were lucky enough to actually experience the short-lived flowers in full bloom.

Just an idea of how massive the tree actually is, compared to a human.

Visiting from Karen's Border Town blog, & glad I did. Great pix. What an amazing tree - always thought of them as being relatively small/low ... thank you for educating me so delightfully!
