Women in the Wind.

Watercolour on paper
Boa Viagem beach in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. gusts of wind sweep the sand and palm trees, leaving hair and clothes in disarray. Done from life, holding the paper tightly.

California Fan Palm (Washingtonia filifera), the only palm native to the western U.S., is fire-adapted. Its trunk resists burning, only losing some of its outer layers, leaving a charred layer to protect it from future fires. More charring means more resistance.
not to be outdone
oaks show off catkins, the palms
inflorescences!

A walkway surrounded by stately Royal Palms, native to Cuba, nearby spots on the east coast of Mexico and Central America, and Florida.
These have been preserved in the McKee Botanical Garden, which was once a Florida tourist attraction with a jungle theme.
I went to a former land fill just off the coast of #SantaCruz de #Tenerife. Someone topped it with fertile soil and turned this old dump into a beautiful garden hill called #Palmetum.
It now gives home to hundreds of #palms from all over the world. Since I'm quite passionate about these plants I made many photos. Here are some of their alien fruits. #kphoto #palms
Dancing through this series...One more to go! I love creating work that can be hung together in sets. It eliminates the "What can I hang with it?" question. :)

Longoteme, Tonga. 1963
Eleven women with seven young children are seated cross-legged on coconut palm leaves in a semi circle. One woman in the centre of the circle is pouring water into a kava bowl which another woman is making. They are seated beneath a breadfruit tree. In the background is a fale with weaved coconut palm leaf thatching for the sides and roofing.
