Spirit Lights The Way 
Looks like paradise to me!
I love palm trees framing blue skies. Simply irresistible. 😎
Simple is the word Nancy – you got it perfectly!
Thoreau had the right idea ~ Simplicity. Simplicity. Simplicity.
“Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.”
These posts say summer. 🙂
That’s why I love being surrounded by swaying palms. Even when it’s “chilly” . . . I know that summer’s warmth is just around the next bend.
My sentiments exactly 😉
Mais oui! 😉
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So pretty.
Thanks, Linda! They make me smile. 😀
Very beautiful photo! The colors are sublime.
I love the juxtaposition of green and blue . . . turquoise and aqua abound here!
Beautiful photo. I just love palm trees (as long as I don’t have to trim them :))
We live in a community with “people” to handle the landscaping issues . . . so we never have to trim the palms (except for the one over our deck if it gets in our way).
Ooooh, it gives a sense of feeling refreshed. Very nice! 🙂
Well put. That’s exactly how I feel, Marie. They make me feel calm and serene. Aah . . . that’s better. 😎
Gorgeous!
Thanks, Kate! I thought about writing something to accompany the photo and decided it stood on its own. 😉
It looks like paradise to me too!
This place is “HOME” to me . . . I never want to move. 😎
What a great atmosphere you have there show in this photo
nice post 🙂
Thanks, Jake! I love shooting photos of the palms from under their spreading fronds.
Simply beautiful Nancy!
Thanks, Pix! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we’ll see you in Venice sometime next week. Woo Hoo!
I love palm trees!! Reminds me of a nice tropical beach summer vacation I had years back! I don’t think I have seen any palm trees here in UK Midlands though..its eally cold and wet most of the time here.
I fell in love with palm trees the first time I visited St. Thomas (in the US Virgin Islands). Ever since, I’ve wanted to live where it’s warm . . . and sunny.
Three years ago, we moved here and LOVE IT! 😎
Wish I was there 🙂
Wish you were here too. Set up a vacation account and save your pennies. It’s a great place for a mid-winter get-away. 😉
Pretty!
Thanks, Greg! I agree. They make me smile when framed against the sky . . . day or night. I love watching the moon peeking out from behind the palm fronds on a starry night.
Now: if I just imagine the heat, the sound of the sea, sand between my toes and condensation dripping down the outside of a large cool drink in my hand… mmmmmmmmmmmm
cheers, Nancy!
Sounds like you are on your way to paradise, EB! Sea, sand, and sun . . . plus a refreshing cocktail.
Aah . . . that’s better! 😎
aah yes… lovely simplicity here, Nancy
Nothing like a big heaping helping of Mother Nature’s finest. 😀
The majestic palm…one of my favorite trees!
Same here! I love that they have their own signature look . . . even though they come in 50 or so varietals.
Love, love those palm fronds! 😉
Glad you enjoyed, E! I have one just outside my office window that makes me smile as I type. 😀
Ah, yes, that is the life
Moving here was like coming “home.”
this reminds me of some of my favourite vacations in places where i would be relaxing poolside or oceanside, and looking up and seeing palm trees above me. there is something that is simply delightful about such a view…..
thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Kris! That’s exactly it . . . they remind me to slow down and savor THIS moment, allowing the next moment to unfold in its own way and in its own time.
Beautiful, Nancy!
Sure wish I had a few of those to greet me outside!
🙂
In Maryland and NJ . . . shore front bars often buy trees at the beginning of the season to create the tropical ambiance during the summer months.
The palm trees die over the winter and the bars and restaurants buy more trees to plant each spring/summer.
It’s subliminal “advertising” at its best . . . “you need a tropical drink, mon!” 😎
paradise!!
Agreed! 😉
Beautiful photograph.
Thanks, A!
Beautiful. I hope to get back to the photo challenges soon. I miss them.
I haven’t done most of them for 2012 because the themes chosen didn’t “speak” to me. Simple, of course, did. 😉
