The asperagus tree and the landslide

The asparagus tree—still don’t know its official name, but did manage to learn one curious fact about this enigmatic plant…like pacific salmon, the plant’s reproductive process is in fact a swan song—the plant grows, matures, flowers, and promptly dies. The “flower”, for the lack of a more technical term, is full of mini asparagus trees and at the appointed time, drops its little clones all about the base of the plant where they take root (of course) and begin the process anew...I'll see if I can't capture the moment in film.

for the time being, enjoy these shots from the "landslide" in kigongo...mud in the classrooms...the fissure--the rocks came from this little canyon...one of the biggest rocks in the field...more when I can, I have to get down there and back before the election announcements.
peace
