My Yucca tree is almost as high as the lower branches of my neighbor’s palm tree.

Sunday Trees, Apr 23, 2017

Version 2

I planted this Royal Poinciana tree sixteen years ago.  It now shades 1/3 of my front garden as well as a good bit of the street.  These seed pods grow to a couple of feet in length.

Backyard Palm Trees: Sunday Trees 283, Apr 16, 2017

BACK YARD PALM

All of the fruiting bundles have been removed from my 7 palm trees by six men who worked for 6 hours to remove them along with the heavy sheaths you can see hanging down like swords and the dry branchess.  A big job. They are beautiful but messy and ultimately dangerous. Two or three times a year they climb these massive trees to remove them.

African Tulip Tree: Flower of the Day, March 5, 2017:

IMG_1501 (1).jpg

Sighted these blooms on an African Tulip tree across the street from Martin’s Restaurant, where we conduct our weekly writers group. The roof had a piece of plastic tarp hanging down from it that flapped in the wind, obscuring this view.  I had to take a few to finally get this.  My favorite tree.  I had a yellow one in my yard that was blocking my last view of the lake so sadly I had to cut it down.

Fallen Giant: Sunday Trees 276

This large tree had fallen across the road near the shop of a carpenter where I’d gone to to have cut some boards for my art day with friends.   The center section that was over the road had of course been taken away, but the rest of the tree was left where it fell.  Local youth had availed themselves of its surface to use as a canvas for their communications on one side and nature had left its own mark on the other
