The Baobab fruit - cream of tartar as its known around here has amazing uses. The fruit has more Vit C than oranges and significant calcium content too. It is also used to produce cream of tartar. The dried powder is added to milk to make yoghurt. In Kenya the baobab fruit seeds, called mbuyu, are cooked with sugar, coloured and sold as a snack......

found this lying beneath the Baobab trees, food for the beetles......

Received these points in an email recently and want to share them with you.......Happy Monday all......

Five ways to breathe in a breathless world:

1.    Remember productivity is not your god.

2.    Don't confuse the urgent with the important.

3.    Move towards community not away.

4.    Learn how to close a day.

5.    Lift up your eyes (thats where your help comes from :)  )

the colours of autumn in Tete...........

 John Deere, Massey, Ford, the choice is yours.......

the production line.........

this gorgeous PIED KINGFISHER sat very patiently while 3 of us got into very strange positions in the very prickly thorn scrub trying to snap him in the Boroma wetlands close to Tete city.......

the weekends are always a good time to sit and reflect on all the good things in life...........enjoy and reflect :)

I recently read........."Photograph the light--not the land. When you learn to see and photograph light your photography will be transformed." and wow how this has changed the way I look at what I am trying to capture. I guess it's the same with life.......look beyond what you see in front of you. His Light transforms all :)

I am finally back online and so eager to share all my latest captures....... Spent a wonderful few days on Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe......a few pics of elephants to share with you all......

sorry all.......I do live in the middle of the Mozambique bush, where trying things happen daily. They have stolen our internet lines once again:( My camera is bursting with new captures to share with you all and once I am reconnected will do......Happy weekend to one and all...
