Three Palms

I pass by this group of palms often and try to figure out a good way to represent their isolation.

This iconic (Los Angeles)/Hollywood tree is known as Mexican or needle palm (Washingtonia Robusta). A skinny trunk that may reach 80 feet in height is topped with an inelegant mop-head of tattered fronds. These fronds are hazardous when they detach from the tree at such a height and the fruits that drop contain seeds that sprout in sidewalk cracks, in lawns, and just about everywhere else. Some have even given these trees the uncomplimentary moniker of “California dandelions” because of their weedy nature.
