If you look you can find beautiful things. I noticed these bright colors while walking to see my brother durring day break. What's funny is once I started noticing the flora, I started seeing flowers all over the place. I guess you see what you are looking for.
The wall in the back is made of Hesko barriers - they are filled with dirt and line the perimeter of all the FOBs here. I wonder if these "sun flowers" are native to Afghanistan? I think the barbed wire and mountains in the back add a nice touch.
Hesko barriers are like coral reefs. They grow all types of stuff.
Its amazing what will spring from the side of a dusty road.
Couldn't resist the lone flower in rocky crag.
This is the Salerno orange orchard. Honest. They have orchards all over Afghanistan, and we happened to build around one. I usually walk through here going to the chow hall. In case you were wondering - no oranges yet.
Rose bushes.
More Hesko flowers. These are some of my favorites - the violet sits in contrast to the dusty browns everywhere else.
Thanks for your prayers - keep them coming!
