About Acacia is a genus of shrubs and trees belonging to the subfamily Mimosoideae of the family Fabaceae, first described in Africa by the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus in 1773.

Acacias are also known as thorntrees or wattles, including the yellow-fever acacia and umbrella acacias.

There are roughly 1300 species of Acacia worldwide, about 960 of them native to Australia, with the remainder spread around the tropical to warm-temperate regions of both hemispheres, including Africa, southern Asia, and the Americas.

African acacia species also entertain ants, supplying the ant colony with sugary secretions from glands all year round. Here again the ants live in the swollen thorns of these acacias. These African plants are called Whistling Thorn Acacias because of the sound the wind makes as it blow over the holes cut by the ants. Antelope will not chomp on an acacia if it knows it will get bitten on the nose by an angry ant in the process!

It was an amazing hot day and evening there in Botswana dear Rif, no draft and about 38 degrees

in the water to get freshened up:))
Today a bit more sun here I hope, alhough we
needed some rain for the plants and my grass:)

Have a great evening and sleep well,

Dear jen!
Very beautiful and interesting work. At the beginning I imagine PS work.
Very worm colors and their tones. I like the colors and geometry.
Warm Regards. Be well

Hahaaaa...nooooo I didnt mean you said nothing, I just wanted some tough comment from you specially as our teacher...lolll

Oh and I like it with the frame much better :)

Julie Salles Julie Salles   {K:22654} 6/4/2008
Nothing? I said interesting. It is interesting because most people wouldn't really think of making an abstract out of brushes on fire, people with a good eye for photography like yourself would. Interesting - wasn't negative my dear friend it was intended as positive :)
I'll stick to the strawberry shortcake, I am not a fan of chocolate.
Big hug and kiss,
Julie.

Please tell me if you think this is nothing my sweet friend, I can handle this:)) Love to hear some real comment as well, something I like can be awful to others:)))
I have been thinking of framing this, migh have looked better...but anyway, I thought this was a good chance for showing some abstract too!
You can choose between the cakes my dear have these round small ones too with fresh cream in it and chocolate around....what are they called? We call them soesjes....hahaaa
I would love to send you a postcard from Africa though, would that be something??
Big and lots of hugs and kiss, Jenxx
