trip to Bibemi, first week of February



Thought it's about time for me to upload some more photos, and i'll start with some I stole from Mike, when I visited Bibemi back in February...








dry season river bed, lined by eucalyptus, beautiful but thirsty trees














results of seed collecting day: fhederbia albida, leucaena leucocephela, acacia nilotica, thevetia, african mahogany, and much much more






Me inside a hollow baobab tree. These trees are the elephants of trees here. Apparantly this tree has been slowly closing up its hole, healing as it continues to grow, so next year it will be impossible to get in it. For now, it's the home to many bats who had fun flying into my hair as I climbed inside.
