Beautiful, Muddy, I love the colours and the way you have caught the light on the branches.

Re: Baobab Tree

Really good, Muddy.
It reminds me of hands with spooky long finger nails waving about.

Like Longdogs said, the shadowy grass is excellent, too.

Re: Baobab Tree

Cute African legend about the baobab tree.


A young boy asked his grandfather why the baobab tree was so strangely shaped. The grand father told him that in the time before time, the baobab tree was always bragging about how it was taller than any other tree in the forest. The gods decided to punish the baobab tree by turning it upside down with it's roots in the air as a lesson in humility.
