Beauty All Around

Heidi in Nakurur

 More than one person has said that when they think of Africa they think of desert. Here in Kenya where we live, there's hardly any desert. But there is diverse beauty all around. There are the flat rice fields, the mountains, the rolling tea fields, the hills where stones and boulders jut out bigger than small houses.There are the vast savannas. The coffee farms. I love traveling in Africa and never tire of the changing scenery. Then there are the people. Little children with smudged up faces, running to wave as you go by. The old men napping in the sun. The grandmas wrinkled but hardy. The busy mothers scrubbing clothing in a watering hole...Friendly people. Beautiful Souls. All needing Jesus.
 Jesus. The Author of true Beauty.

There is usually cooler weather and more rain in Nakuru. It is a lovely place.

We were going to Freeman Bylers for supper but when we heard they had gotten the flu we ate at this place overlooking Lake Nakuru. So lovely and peaceful.

The purple flowered trees are a favorite of mine tho I have no idea what they are called.

I always Love the bright green of the tea fields

Beauty in friendships...tho Mahlon does look a bit uncertain here
