palms

Or, do a palm frond or two look better as they turn up in nature, or folded into a foursome?  These are in a glen more or less behind the house: I suppose we could climb over our flimsy wire fence into Griffith Park, but we go the decorous way using road and path.  And then, there are fifty-five miles of trails (apparently) - this is the US's largest urban path, and the trail that we took this afternoon passed (if you exclude the sound of the 5 freeway) into countryside very quickly, below Beacon Hill - on which, apparently, there used to be a real beacon, guiding planes into Glendale Airport.
