For anyone who knows me relatively well will know that I can't stop talking about how much I love Jacaranda trees!

I've decided to do a little project called 'Where the Jacaranda falls'.  

​Send me your favourite images of where the flowers have fallen and I will add them to my collage which will be featured here on my website!

In the meantime, here are some of this seasons beautiful Jacaranda's along Ngong Road.

I can hear a child

​-

out of the anaemic silence
of the sun’s warp, daydreaming
in the dark Classroom’s depth

-

a child,
begot and beaten into learning
how to live behind the blood’s
bottled confusion of skin,

-

The endless conflict
of a porous bruise,

-

​games are stone scratched
on the sands of the moon, blind
folded hopscotch frames
in which to resolve

-

But tell me when, when
does one ever grow up?

-

to become perfectly chiral
to the prism jar, glassed
in the existence
of a hemorrhagic past?

Who knew Gatwick could look so lovely?!

A few weeks ago my boyfriend and I headed down into the Rift Valley to visit the ancient site of Olorgesailie.  Turning off the bumpy Magadi road onto the white dust track that leads to the site was a lovely relief and as the dust flew up around us I was reminded of my childhood family trip to the wonderful place.  

We spent the afternoon wandering around the site, looking at the bones and ancient tools first discovered in 1942. 

A lovely little cat accompanied us for dinner! 

Beautiful Birds surrounded the banda 

We drove up the nearby mountain, getting a wicked view of the valley cast in evening shadows.

As night fell, the sky lit up with streaks of clouds.

At night the heavens opened up revealing millions of starts illuminating the night sky.

This trip reminded me of how much natural beauty surrounds us here in Kenya and how much I love exploring it.
