I am ashamed to admit this: when we first arrived in Africa, not only did I have no appreciation for the fat trees that showed up on every artists' canvas, but I thought they were down right ugly. Then I came face to face with one. And I was never the same again.
I have mentioned them in tiny ways before. But when I close my eyes and think of Africa, the bright sun and the baobabs are what spread across my eyes.
I call it a blessing to have crossed paths with these incredible giants. My pictures will do no justice; Oh, promise me you'll google them. You'll be so happy you did.
