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.

Science does not purvey absolute truth, science is a mechanism. It's a way of trying to improve your knowledge of nature, it's a system for testing your thoughts against the universe and seeing whether they match.
-- Isaac Asimov
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.
[Excessive testing teaches students] that learning is a joyless succession of hoops through which they must jump, rather than a way of understanding and mastering the world. Every question has one right answer; the measure of a person is a number. Being insightful, or creative, or heaven forfend, counterintuitive counts for nothing.

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. :)

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First by reflection, which is noblest; second by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
