Miraculously, these beautiful storm lillies break through within a few hours of the first storm of the season...... May we to, in the new year before us, where gifts, dreams and creativity has lain dormant beneath the dry crust of life's constant pressures and fears, burst forth... Bringing joy, encouragement and hope to the community God has chosen to place us in...... Blessings friends!

Sadly with the security situation deteriorating rapidly in Tete and the surrounds, I have not been able to get out there and snap away like I used too :( Unfortunately a lot of thieves and bandits have moved here due to the coal boom, and have found so much to "help" themselves to! The police are definitley are not here to protect us and seem to part of the problem. I really don't feel like parting with my camera just yet! Thank goodness we have God to protect us!

"It's a land of almost breathtaking beauty or of savage poverty.....A land of inviting warmth or of desperate drought.... How you see a country depends on whether you are driving through it, or living in it. How you see a country depends on whether or not you can leave it, if you have to" taken from scribbling the cat, by Alexandra Fuller. So apt about Tete, Mozambique.

whilst traipsing around this small Ilala "forest" on the banks of the Zambezi, I came across this "religious set up".......maybe its the local people hoping for good sap to make the intoxicating palm wine for the season.....
One report (Moll 1972) states that it is highly intoxicating, but another (Coates Palgrave 2002) suggests that the wine is relatively mild, with an alcohol content of some 5-10%, which lies between the beers and wines sold commercially here. According to Coates Palgrave, the viciously intoxicating product is a spirit distilled from the palm wine. The raw material for these products is sap gathered by cutting off the top of a growing stem and harvesting the exudate. The sap hardens over the wound in due course, and another layer of stem is cut away until eventually the growing point is completely destroyed and the stem dies. Often when this happens the lala palm will sucker from the base, and so that individual is not killed. Moll considers the wine to be an important source of B-group vitamins for those who consume it.

this is a bit of a blurry snap, but just love the colours, so had to share.... taken from an article on Digital Photography School website..... "I’ve always liked the idea that great photography happens on the edges. Twilight, the transition between night and day, is an edge. I think of it as the ‘magic hour’. You may also see it referred to as the blue hour, a reference to the colour of the ambient light as night falls."

a typical family home in the local village areas of Tete. I tend to complain about all the constant dust we have to deal with here, but imagine living like this, where dust is your constant companion. The rains arrival in a few months will settle it all down, and everyone cant wait.... Blessed indeed...
