Way down in the South of France, and within easy reach of
Spain
The next two are from Glasgow, Scotland
where they are protected by these wonderful Victorian greenhouses.
My local downbeat urban rundown downtown Woolwich actually has some palm trees, and I thought I had some photos I could post. But no, I must have imagined taking photos of them.
They are unexpected and look somewhat out of place in the high street by the red London buses.
Maybe I imagined them.
Here is a local and more indigenous palm:

Some Stunning Photos Lettuce.London Palms Rule!
The first pic grabbed me, I looked at it for a long time. The others were great as well but something about that first one captivated me.
Thanks for that one!

indigenous palm holding feather of indigenous jay perhaps????

Absolutely great shots! I especially like the ones of the shadows on the sand. Excellent work!
hi lettuce hope all's well with you hun..it's been a while. beautiful pics..love the two close ups in Glasgow and those greenhouses are fantatic, but mostly love the way the sunlight has lit up the local palm :) xx
wow - beautiful pictures - the palms - the sand - holiday feeling --sigh
You palm photos make me realize I have never taken a palm photo. And come to think of it, I don't think there are any palms around? I will look for them, and as soon as I find one, I will photograph it. I am palm green with envy. For most of my life, palms were in the picture. I miss them. Thanks for your post.
Beauty...
like all the pics...
Loved these pictures. The last one was captivating. Is that you?

Theme Thursday: Palm

great photos, they really give the feeling of a "palmy place" The Victorian greenhouses exhude some rare exotism. and the feather in the palm, perfect.
I love "palmy place"
you are a gifted photographer.
beautiful shots.
thanks for sharing.
Frondulicious . . . love the Victorian Greenhouses, so nostalgic. I bet they contain half the plants we grow here.
The 'victorian greenhouse' is Kibble Palace in the Botanic Gardens which you may be surprised to know is the setting for a Knit Pic tomorrow which sadly I cannot attend bit my friends are going to. A Picnic where you sit and knit and talk and eat and make friends.
thanks all of you.

Gorgeous photos. Love the shadows and the jay's feather :)
