Beauty


Acacia tree flower. (Who would have thought that rust can be so beautiful in a picture.)
It seems like the trees bloomed over night. The day before I took these pictures there was no sign of the flowers and the next day I was overwhelmed and surprised by the smell. When I looked up, there they were, in full bloom. I love the smell of acacia tree flowers, especially at dusk, when it's so powerful. There's nothing quite like it. No wonder the bees like it and no wonder the honey they make out of it is so good.
