Kanapaha Botanical Gardens
Gainesville, Florida December 2007
Walking quietly with few words.
In the shade
In the palm grove
For the Hummingbirds
A rare phenomena
The sound of Sandhill Cranes rose distinctly over the gardens.
In a Southern Garden.

A forked palm tree! That actually happens?!
Stat stone wall looks a lot like the one I made in my garden. I actually did a double-take.
A very very rare forked palm tree. They had a triple crowned one until Hurricane Francis knocked two of the arms off.
That stone wall looked to be made of recycled concrete sidewalks.
What a pleasant interlude. It fits my slug-like mode this day.
I had never seen a forked palm tree either - hadn't really thought about it, but wow. Interesting! I was thinking that the garden looked very similar to those here in Charleston - until I saw the fall-blooming salvia still looking so nice. A freeze just before Christmas zapped all of mine. I hope you're having a nice holiday.
Aha! So my sandhill cranes are enjoying Florida for the winter, eh? Oh well, they DID work for it, flying all that way. Man, those lily pads are way cool.
