There are lots of palm trees, lots of rows of palm trees, lots of trunks of palm trees — all to be seen on our walks. This was today’s star-quality trunk, with that intriguing rake/broom/piano string arrangement of fibers just sitting there looking natural. Which it was. Is. I have no idea how it gets that way. I could do a whole series of peeling palm trunks. The palms are often machine-trimmed, and they also lose fronds naturally. The textures are compelling, don’t you think?
