You know you're in Africa when....part 4


You see these flowering everywhere this time of the year ( winter). These are all Aloes and indigenous to South Africa. Their leaves have many medicinal proposes ( Aloe Vera is well known for skin and digestive system healing) but the beauty of them especially in nature in the dry Karoo is stunning.

For some more great photo moments, pop over to Carrie's on a Friday and play along.
