I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

Baobab




Here I am with my friend and guardian Gift, in front of a thousand year-old, more or less, baobab tree - click to enlarge. (No one really knows how old these trees are, as they don't have growth rings.)

I've seen many of these trees since I've been in Africa, with their huge squat trunks like thirty or forty smaller trees smooshed together, but this was my first opportunity to see one up close.
