I may be squaring trees daily but if a daily tree square won’t leave you enough time to stop under a palm tree, then why not just pop in occasionally with your #TreeSquares. Afterall the only absolute rule for joining in with Squares is that your photograph must be square in shape! Although I’d love it if you also left a comment on my post, conversations make the challenge so much fun.

‘May you never be too busy to stop and breathe under a palm tree’

  1. Palm trees look lovely, but they take a lot of work and make a lot of mess. People across the street just had their two cut down, although they weren’t nearly as big as these. Of course if the city takes care of the upkeep…

    1. Woodlake cut down 100+ year-old palms to make way for sidewalks and modernization of the little town. Our city manager got tons of flack for it, but it looks so much better, and the new trees are healthy, which the palm trees were not. 🙂 They have a life-span.

        1. Back in the 1800s probably until at least 1912, when those trees were planted when farmers ordered a certain number of orange trees, the company in Los Angeles sent a palm tree. So if a farmer planted several groves of oranges, there were palm trees lining the streets. I’ll post one for my TreeSquare posts. 🙂

        2. Thanks, Becky B. I was blessed to write a book about Woodlake – thanks to my blog. A publisher read one of my blog posts, many years ago, and contacted me to write a book. I learned so much doing it.
