We did a walk today to see if a familiar palm tree along the beach is still there.

It is! It has suffered a bit and another palm that used to be next to it is gone, but this tree has weathered storms and high seas and remains steadfast.

Here it is in late 2019 – this is our first time back since the start of covid in March, 2020 – but we do recognise it and its location. The shoreline has changed and the other palm has disappeared, but “our” palm tree is still there. Sometimes, it’s nice to know that the familiar, however altered, carries forward.

Happy Wednesday.
