Need time away from the cold winter city season, my tropical sunnyside home province is calling me.

This exotic beaut’ comes from the road to Mapungubwe National Park in Limpopo, South Africa! Thanks for the awesome submission, @botany_lady_b (on Instagram)!

Can't tell you much about this record other than it's South African Tsonga disco by Joe Shirimani, who has also produced many other artists in the genre. It's catchy stuff with an intro that oddly reminds me of Katrina and the Waves' hit Walking on Sunshine.

(2) A Sunland Baobab tree on Sunland Farm (Platland Farm), near Modjadjiskloof (previously known as Duiwelskloof), Limpopo Province. In one study the tree was carbon-dated and found to be an estimated 1,060 years old, plus or minus 75 years. Results of other studies have however suggested much higher ages (up to 6,000 years). The tree blooms profusely in spring and provides a refuge to two pairs of owls, and other bird species. One third of the Boabab tree collapsed in August 2016. (3) Hadada Ibis, Dullstrom.
