Araboku Sokoke Forest and Gede Ruins
An early (but not as early as planned!) start for a trip north to the coastal forest park of Araboku Sokoke. Various forest views…
Trees for seed stock
Butterflies on elephant dung
The road we followed looking for the tree house
Having failed to find the tree house we turned back, stopped at the swamp, and as we took this photo Meld saw the treehouse behind me!
Birds around the swamp
Up the tree house
More dug, more butterflies
After lunch we went to Gede Ruins, and were greeted by monkeys
The ruins of the Swahili town are impressive. A fig tree grows through one of the mosques
The butterflies are like the ones in the Hot House at RHS Wisley Gardens. 🙂
Mind you they don’t use elephant dung to attract them.
Great shots Aidan!!! I see the monkeys eagerly welcomed you’all!!!
Wonderful photos, brought back memories of Africa for me.
Dung seems to be a particular attraction for you!!!
Great photos. Bring back many memories of Africa for me.
You seem to have an attraction to elephant dung!!! xx
Ah Judy, I like butterflies, butterflies like dung, therefore…
