Natural Beauty

We are getting ready for Dry Season. The ground will become a uniform brown colour, the dry leaves will fall off the trees and the lack of rain will mean little relief for eyes weary of seeing the dusty greyness that will enshroud the semi-arid Dodoma region.
However, the rains have been good this year and lasted longer than usual, meaning that there are still many beautiful wild flowers to enjoy. Last weekend, we visited a place called Kongwa, out in the "countryside", or local bush, where it was wonderful to feast my eyes on all the pretty colours of the flowers which are still in bloom.
To remind me of these fabulous natural colours of sunny Tanzania, I took plenty of pictures. Now I will be able to enjoy these flowers through the dusty dry season and will be reminded that these lovely wild flowers will bloom again next rainy season!

  1. Reminds me of Corrie ten Boom's comment when she was in prison of how desperately she missed and longed for colour in her cell.
    What a good idea to record your colour memories.
