The fruiting stems of each variety of palm are different, but they are all as beautiful as flowers to my eye. They do flower, but are so messy–thousands of the blooms ending up in my pool filter and on my decks. These are someone else’s problem, however, as I found them on the street in La Manz. I just get to enjoy them.
For Cee’s Flower Challenge
Nothing like a little rest in the shade of a few palm trees!
This is Annie––once in the majority but now grossly outnumbered by dogs in the house.

I saw this cloud/jet trail combination from where I sat at an outside mall restaurant. I jumped up and tried out several locations, but decided I liked this view the best. This is my favorite type of palm tree.. such a beautifully sculpted trunk. It gives a bit of texture to this otherwise pretty smooth scene.

What similarities do you find in these two pictures? As much of a contrast as they depict, they do have at least three things in common. What are they? Can you see the tree in the bottom picture that looks like it is wearing a shoe? Strange. (That is not one of the similarities!)http://ceenphotography.com/2015/07/09/cees-black-white-photo-challenge-large-subjects/
