Tree Squares: Windblown Palm

A lonely palm tree thrashing in the wind. Noumea, New Caledonia

July Squares are all about Trees

Washing Lines 5: after snorkelling

This is my balcony on the stern of Radiance of the Seas (my sole foray into cruising on a white fun palace; lesson learned!). In this photo, we are heading away from the Isle of Pines, New Caledonia, where I’d had a marvellous, hour-long snorkelling session around La Rocher (Sacred Rock).

Monday Washing Lines

Stormlight

Threatening skies over a small island in New Caledonia

hmm, is stormlight a word? 😉

Posted as part of January Squares, the theme for which is words ending in light.

Pointy Pines

Hmm, are these trees pointy or spiky?

Hot off the press! (Well, hot from the camera, anyway.) I took this photo a few days ago near Isle of Pines (New Caledonia), one of the many smaller islands. Aren’t these the oddest looking pine trees? They are columnar pine trees and are native to New Caledonia. More info about the trees here if you’re curious.

March’s square theme is Spiky Squares (spiky, jagged, pointy, bristly, serrated, prickly, spiny, and/or barbed)
