This isn't my favorite tree pic, but it's definitely my most interesting. It took me months to figure out what the heck was happening here:
Turns out that it's a palm inflorescence (cluster of flowers) that the palm tree was producing to attract pollinators. Of course, since this was taken in Long Beach, CA I'm guessing there weren't too many of the tree's native pollinators around.
That thing just makes me uncomfortable. Not sure why, but I just don't like it, yet somehow, I cannot look away. (kinda like the Kramer)
Yup, truly disturbing. Vaguely Alien-esque...
Nice shots all around. |

Summit42: I love that Crack Canyon tree too. I have some really good ones from a few years ago from ground level looking up into the sky. I will have to find and scan them.
Another Swell tree: |

The fruit from this tree is meant to fill one with joy. I tried to get my older brothers to try it, but for some reason, they would not. Idiots...

And a little frost on colored leaves.
Almost, trees. |
