Where the bright things are

Where the bright things are

Heading along the unending road north to Zimbabwe, deep into the dry, dusty thornveld of Limpopo, one wouldn't expect art...

or  a carefully-tended garden of bright, exotic flowers...

Stop at the Caltex petrol station, The Ranch, to grab a coke, kudu biltong, some Smarties, and when nobody is looking, quickly sneak into the ladies' restroom...

There you will find Maria, the resident gardener and floral artist...

and here are some of her artworks - joyfully imagined and meticulously executed - freshly done each day:

Thank you, Maria
