Black and White Sunday...Saw Palmetto and Palm



These Saw Palmetto trees are in a circle around our biggest pine tree. I have dozens of photos of it from over the years. I found if I take the photos in black and white and edit them a little in PicMonkey, the details are amazing.

The reason I talk to myself, is I am the only one whose answers I accept...

quote by George Carlin but it is true about me...

Below is a palm in the corner of the yard but not sure of the name.

    Happy Sunday to you!

  14. These pictures are amazing and you sure can see all of the detail. My sister in South Carolina has a Palmetto something or other in her front yard. She has to trim the fronds from the bottom. My, it is so pretty. I really like these black and whites.

  23. A good idea to edit the palms in black and white as you get interesting contrasts and shapes. Something to try after I've visited the Palm House in town. Have a good day, Sandra.
