Palm Trees

Back in October, I was standing in line at a taco truck when the sky behind the palm trees just called to me: 

And that is all. 

Do you like palm trees? Do you have a favorite tree? Any good food trucks in your area?

Today's A to Z Challenge post brought to you by the letter...

  1. I do! Being a transplant from Oregon, I find them so "California"

    1. They are so ubiquitous around here that I barely notice them.

  2. I like that photo, I'd have been drawn to it too. I'm not a fan of palm trees that tall in rows. I'm not a fan of them in my city, they don't fit in with our forests of cedar and Douglas fir! The In-and-Out added them, tall and rowed, as I guess it's their thing? Silly. I loved seeing real coconut palms in Puerto Rico and do like the native California fan palms, in their proper places! Well, I seem to have quite a lot to say about palm trees! I can't think of a favorite tree. There are a lot of food trucks downtown, but I've never been to any of them. If I did it would be one of the taco trucks.

    1. I'm surprised you have palm trees near you. But, yeah, In-and-Out. I get that.

  3. I love those California tall palm trees. They always amaze me as they do not fall or bend. I have many different favorite trees for different reasons. I like flowering trees like dogwoods, pears, jacarandas.... I like evergreens and very tall trees.

    1. Oh, they bend. It's just that the wind has to really be blowing.

  4. I have loved palm trees since I saw them for the first time, visiting family in Florida in 1966. I loved them when I lived in Florida for nearly two years, when I visited San Diego in 1996, in several trips to South Carolina (well, palmettos). I loved them visiting Florida now and again and I'll love them if I ever see them again in person. Why? I'm not really sure. I just love them.

    1. I'm sorry you don't get to see them in person that often. They're everywhere here. My dad has one on his front lawn. I see them daily.
