GESO: Signs of Spring
The Knoppiesdoorn (Knobthorn) trees are the first of the thorny Acacias to bloom each year in the Lowveld. Although the English name exists, it is virtually never used. Scroll R for the other 3 images at closer distances. The last indicates how the trees get their name. Some years ago a parachutist landed in one just up the road. It took ages to get him out & the 'chute canopy was in tatters. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/44360706971/ All with the K5.
