  3. Many years ago I had a boy friend who said, one day we will meet on a beech, I will wait for you under the second palm tree on the right. Thanks for bringing back those wonderful memories. Beautiful picture. Diane

  4. Hehehe, i think they look a little like big feather dusters (Can you tell I've been attacking cobwebs today?)

  5. The sea does look inviting, but not the most attractive type of palm tree.

  6. I skipped past this one earlier (so many photos to catch up on!) - but that was doing it a disservice. This photo deserves to be looked at full-size in my opinion, I love the setting, the composition and the way the palm trees police the space..

  7. The West Coast of the South Island, which is where these palms are, experiences very rough and wild weather at times so these palms are wind torn and tattered and have had to dig deep to stay there where nothing else grows.
