Have you ever considered Nairobi Arboretum to be a good spot for your photo shoot? Well, I thought so.
Nairobi arboretum is a park situated 3km from Nairobi city center. It is known for bird watching, butterfly watching, picnics, corporate and social events, walking trails and concerts. It contains over 300 indigenous trees and exotic trees. It hosts over 100 bird species plus butterflies, chameleon and monkeys.
About two years ago, a friend invited us for a peace campaign photo shoot at Arboretum. It was my first time going to Arboretum and I did like the place so. The calmness, greenness and the greatness of the place will give you peace of mind away from the noisy and busy Nairobi hustle.
Can you believe I saw this pictures of that day just recently? It was just the perfect timing months after I started my blog. If you don’t, look at the length of my dreadlocks.
Looking at these pictures, I asked myself am I proud of the woman I have become? Did she know I will represent her today? Has she changed? Do we still share the same visions and dreams? Talk about writing a letter to my future self or replying to a younger me. Time passes but God writes your story in a beautiful way you can’t imagine.
