A L O H A From Honolulu!
Sunsets are so beautiful
that they almost seem as
if we were looking through
the gates of Heaven.
John Lubbock
It is almost impossible
to watch a sunset
and not dream.

African Sausage Tree Blossom
Kigelia is a genus of flowering
plants in the family Bignoniaceae.
The genus consists of only one species, Kigelia africana, which occurs throughout tropical Africa. The so-called sausage tree grows a poisonous fruit that is up to 60 cm (2 feet) long, weighs about 7 kg (15 pounds), and resembles a sausage in a casing.

Nature is painting for us,
day after day, pictures
of infinite beauty if only we
have the eyes to see them.

ReplyDeleteSunsets are great. I wonder how the sun gets up there to begin with?
