A couple of my favorite trees




Someday when I will have my dream tree garden, the narrah tree will have the place of honor. Not only is it our national tree, it's also my favorite tree. I just love how the small yellow flowers carpet the earth every summer.




Another tree that I'd love to have in my garden is the acacia tree. It brings back memories of my elementary and high school days. We used to have a couple of big acacia trees in our school near the gym. I even remember quarreling with a classmate underneath it's canopy. We called each other names, she called me ngongo and I called her oink oink. Hahaha. I love the light pink and white flowers of the acacia tree, specially as it drifts where the wind takes it, like tiny round feathers hovering in the air.
