Tree Tuesday - A Little Exotic

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

I live near a botanical garden and love to go there to relax and enjoy my time there with some of my friends. Sometimes, it's nice to go alone and just gather my thoughts and people watch. So, today I am going to show you two trees from one of my favorite places to visit. One is the infamous palm tree that everyone loves getting a shot of by standing underneath it.

And the other is a small bonsai tree.

I'd like to thank @old-guy-photos for hosting "Tree Tuesday". Since I am new to Steemit, this gives me something to post about and also lets me try a little harder at making myself a better photographer!

Sincerely,

Ilsa Ione

Oh that is cool! I was just at a similar place here in Michigan over the weekend! I am going to use the pics for next week's post!

Very happy to see you post to the tag. Oh btw no matter how many times @dswigle calls me old-man-photos like you put in your post, its actually old-guy-photos lol.

haha! Ok! I will correct it right now! So, sorry!

No worries! Its funny! It is a running joke we have going on. I got a kick out of seeing @dswigle strikes again LOL.

I guess the two of you are quite the pranksters! It's kind of amusing to see some good humor on here!

Oh my God I would never do that to the old man. I mean the old guy. I mean Paul. Him. Don't let his whining ruin your day. He loves it when we pay attention to him that way

OMG yeah any attention is good attention I suppose LOL

Haha! You guys are silly.

Where were you at in Michigan?

Very nice! I got a bonsai kit for my birthday one time, I think it was dead within a couple of weeks. I love them though, they are so interesting and deep. The palm tree photo is great as well! We have a small garden area where I grew up and I used to love going there as a kid.

@bozz I once got one for Christmas and mine did not make it long either so don't feel too bad! We obviously do not have green thumbs when it comes to the bonsai!

Not at all, I can grow tomatoes like a mother though. My wife and I both are not very adept and growing plants and keeping them alive. Weeds on the other hand we have an over abundance of in our flower beds!

@bozz Yes, tomatoes, lettuce, and things like that, I can also grow, just not the bonsai! haha

The palm tree looks like a nice spot for an afternoon nap. I could definitely use an afternoon nap.

@inc-smoothie It does look like a nice spot for a nap! I wish I were napping there now! :)
