I live in California, so I also write about oaks, cypress and pine. The baobabs are, of course, found in Zimbabwe, Madagascar and Australia. I read about them online.

Hello Carol Louise Moon, so nice to meet you. I had a dream once I saw the ground as the sky. What once was the blue sky was the ground. Trees roots were up and the leaves in the ground. A wired dream.Enjoy your day my friend.
