That Californian Palm reminded me of the Cotton Palm, the ones that grow so very tall here.<br />That bird and its next was something else. I recently had an email of various sculptures a man in a wheelchair had made entirely out of spanners. If you would like me to email it to you then send me your email address (I believe Karen gave you mine recently). They are really worth seeing.<br />Too many wonderful things to comment on...just all so beautiful.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-6789353113407901902013-11-23T14:44:56.706+11:002013-11-23T14:44:56.706+11:00All Consuming: I too am a tree fan.

I'm a big fan of trees, myself and Spatz will stop when walking/cycling purely to stand and talk about how great one or another is, move off the beaten track to see another better. The sculptures are right up my street too. It'd be great for you to return to the same spots and take more pictures in a couple of years time, to see the advancement of the lush and green. The world looks so fine when we look at it through your eyes.
