Fallen Limb: Sunday Trees 297, July 23, 2017

A combination of wind and rain did this obviously dead limb in after a recent storm. Looks like it might have caused a few electrical outages as well, but luckily not at my house!

For the Sunday Trees prompt.

Sculpting with Bushes

These sculpted bougainvillea bushes run up the center divider at the entrance to the fraccionamiento where I live.  Quite an artistic and sculptural effect. Click on the first photo to see them better.

My sister sent me this photo of the beautiful paloverde tree that stands near their property in Arizona.  My mother lived for 30 years in Arizona after I left home and she always commented when the paloverde were in bloom.

Jungle: Sunday Trees, May 28, 2017

My husband used to say that I wasn’t satisfied until people had to fight their way through the jungle to get to our house.  That was long ago and far away, but things haven’t changed much since then.  I love this wild tangle of Washingtonian palms, napa palms and hibiscus.
