Description

Yes, I know, it's just a palm tree. But this is in the middle of Eureka, California, where it rarely gets above 70 degrees. When it does, people (not this people, however!!) complain about the heat. This tree is also about a block from the bay, where it's even colder. I guess there are palms, and there are other palms!!

a nice palm, Marilyn, against a nice intense sky. And I like the misty 'bloom' in the center, how it looks like the tree is having a small epiphany. And there's a small set of halos around the tree—what in pre-digital days would be minor lens flare. It's perfect for the shot; in fact it's as if a little orb had settled in the tree to deliver a message from the gods...In Chicago, we don't have palms, and I was convinced for the longest time that they were figments of Nature's imagination...but lately I've started to believe! Very nice solo of a tree.
