Most of the palms on my property are known as crown shaft palms. They typically do not need pruning nor do they have armament. The majority of them are native to Australia.

This time of year of course they are growing pretty good and thus shedding lower fronds on a regular basis.

As these lower fronds drop off, flower stalks are revealed! These have different sizes and coloration per species.....which I find fascinating.

Piccabeen Palms have purple colored ones....such as this one located between my 2 driveways that just revealed itself.......

FWIW…there’s no filter use here. Just an iPhone and taken a few minutes apart. Last one was first.

Finished a little backyard project. All the significant cities/countries that Lan and I have traveled to since we've been together. A lot more to come (hopefully).






And just to be goofy ... pointing to our koi pond:

Fireworks across the entire valley as seen from my deck. It was a perfect evening & 65 degrees

Was working on bicycles in my service bay outside when I heard all the sirens. Now I know what they were for......

Bahamas

I'm only a little disappointed I wasn't invited.

No photo @BamaNation but at the Dollar General store here yesterday the young lady cashier was wearing a BYU sweat shirt. Of course I had to make a comment on it and she said she's enrolled to start school there in the fall. Said her major will be animal science. I said that's a really excellent university and wonderful major and she will love Utah.

She said her friend is also enrolled and will major in dentistry.

Pretty cool to see these young people heading out into the "real" world like that. I bet her Mom and Dad are very proud!

Interesting totems.....2nd one has holes in the top for the woodpeckers!

I take this neighborhood street all the time when heading to the South Causeway. Less traffic!

Our son and daughter in law are in Switzerland celebrating her parents 50th anniversary. A couple of photos of sundown in the Alps and a picnic on the Bachalsee
