Dry season flowers at camp

 

Dry season flowers in the beginning of September

On first glance the dry season climate can appear lifeless with no rainfall for three consecutive months. But at certain times of the dry season there are signs of life with several species of trees and shrubs alike putting out flowers. My excitement for the flowering shrubs has grown due to my appreciation for the rarity of the event. The majority of the year many of the shrubs have a rather tough appearance, I would certainly not describe them as aesthetically pleasing. And shrubs take present in high densities so it's easy to write them off as an uninteresting part of the rugged landscape. 

Wildlife will quickly locate the flowers, whether they are birds or even elephants, all searching for energy to power through the long harsh dry season.
