Palms, Cedars, and T Walls Photos From April

There is a grove of date palms and cedars all together in this one small plot. When it is hot like it has been and the cedars bake in the sun, if you pass by early in the morning the fragrance of cedar fills the air. It is as if you had just opened a chest made of that wonderfully aromatic wood. The palms are really beautiful in their own way. I find myself enjoying the appearance of the palm fronds spreading out from the center of the trunk.





These are T-Walls, large concrete barriers used for protection. I just thought they looked kind of interesting in a still life sort of way. Laying in stacks on the ground waiting to be set up.



Sometimes the mundane simple and plain things in life are artistic in their own way.
Welcome to my perspective.

Love your photos and your comments. "My Soldier" in Iraq sent a photo of himself in front of a high T-wall, showing me how safe he is. Didn't think it looked all that formidable, tho.

Found you by googling T-walls.

Thanks for the lovely observation about the cedars and palm trees. To see beauty in such an environment is a wonderful gift; thank you for sharing it.
