TreeTuesday : Vegas Palm

in #treetuesday7 years ago

My first tree Tuesday! 🌲 🌳😁

I chose a palm tree 🌴

These tropical trees are found all over Las Vegas, because they can handle the heat! Rays for days baby! You can become mesmerized watching and listening to the palm leaves rustle with a warm breeze. Quite often these trees are found near the ocean, but here you can most certainly find one in most shopping centers, neighborhoods, and especially pools around here.

I think palm trees are especially cool, because as they grow taller their palm leaves create an armor for the tree even when trimmed away. Have you ever seen a palm that hasn’t been trimmed? It looks like they are wearing a fur coat!

Here is another shot of the armor!

These trees are pretty resilient, especially when you see them taking on harsh hurricane winds like a champ!

That is one nice palm tree! I like the light shining through the fronds in the last shot and abstracts of the armor are texturally delicious!

I'm happy to be back in So. Cal...returning to my homeland. The palm trees against the almost night sky always make me happy. Thanks for sharing.

Love the description, texturally delicious! But I feel it! So cal is always a good spot! Glad you enjoyed!
