Discovering the Beauty around us

While on the Ghana Discovery trip, we tried to go on regular walks. Most walks were either related to transportation (we'd walk until we could get a taxi) or needing to purchase something down the street. However a few were just for a bit of exercise and to enjoy the beauty of an evening in northern Ghana. 

I remember when we were first setting up this guest house for the Ghana Institute of Linguistics Literacy and Bible Translation (GILLBT), Timothy and I saw these beautiful flowers growing in the bush and we would dig a few up and transplant them at the guest house... they are still thriving at the guest house we used to manage for GILLBT.

These are my favourites amongst all the flowers we found growing wild in the savanah and transplanted.

The GILLBT guest house is the one we still stay at with our Discovery team while in Tamale northern Ghana.  Once we had the fence installed, all the trees we planted really started thriving... The environment has been transformed with this landscaping.  In exchange for the beautiful greenery, I think the mosquito population has also increased...
