Surprise! by pamelaf

Surprise!

Didn't really expect to see this tree on the north shore of the Vancouver harbour, looking very much at home in late October!
This is a windmill palm- Trachycarpus fortunei - a very nice specimen of this cold hardy tree. It is also quite resistant to wind and salt, making it a suitable choice for this park.
SOOC.
I like the juxtaposition with the evergreen.

@dmariewms Yours too, but I've told you that. :-) Never hurts to say it again.

@shanne The cranes look like 5 giraffes to me- one is grazing!
