The cannon ball tree Couroupita guianensis is really interesting. It has a round fruit, a bit like old rusty cannon balls and beautiful red flowers like a lotus. The monkeys love to eat the fruits. The tree and the fruit is believed to have medicinal properties for curing many diseases. It has antimicrobial, antifungal, antiseptic and analgesic properties. Quite amazing!
“True friends are those who are able to grow separately without growing apart” I have very few close friends but I cherish our friendship and am truly grateful to have them in my life. I am also grateful for all my new friends I have met since joining wordpress. I talk about you all constantly to my other friends. I have a suspicion they think I have imaginary friends ;p
I really love lotus flowers. They are so beautiful and I like what they symbolize. The Lotus flower symbolizes spiritual awakening, purity and resurrection.
As Chinese New Year brings in the new year of the wood horse, my lotus flower sketch marks the new beginning of my journey as well. I want to make this the year of my new rebirth. A new start.
Sayonora for now. I’m off to Japan for a week. I will try to post sketches everyday but forgive me if I dont xx
