Baboon Heaven

It pains me to acknowledge that I have not spent much time at all at BlueGumsFree this year. It would seem that every long-time resident at this extraordinary space is compelled to leave it for long spells, only to return more enchanted – and overwhelmed – by all that BlueGums throws at them.

While we may not have been around very much, our ever-present neighbours have evidently made themselves quite at home – as these photographs attest.

Oh and by the way … this is what this section of the mountain looked like a few years back

Thanks to our regular guest and famous sculptor Jurgen Waxweiler for the wonderful baboon photographs that appear in this week’s blog.
