Rebecca says: "The photo was taken in Kings Park and Botanic Gardens in Perth, Australia. It was taken by my father who had suprised me with a visit after a terrible break-up with a person I had moved there to be with! It was a sad time but, as always, I found that being out in nature was the best balm for heartache. The smaller baobab was planted to complement the arrival of a gift from the Gija people of Northern Australia to Western Australia. Their gift was an ancient and magnificent baobab, that was highly prized for its medicinal uses and edible fruits, as part of an initiative to establish indigenous species in the park."
