~ I admit to being enthralled by the spectacle of tens of thousands of acacia blooms arrayed overhead. The sprays of acacia flowers along the dry river captivated my interest as much as the sighting of any predator. The massed floral display attracted pollinators as well as my camera lens. The lushness in an arid region was as much a promise of continued life as the rainbow Noah saw. For how many millennia has Samburu been graced with the flowering of acacias? It was more beauty than my limited eyesight could fully savor.
