A few pics around Atlanta today - some signs of spring

Message from Phil in Atlanta

I took a quick lunch drive to the midtown area to check on the palms. Gloomy day with some drizzle - wish I would have gone yesterday, oh well. Took some palms and some random BLE pics. Some signs of spring after the weekend warmth.

Palmettos look pretty good - maybe a little browning older fronds tips. A few different angles.

Some sort of BLE, probably the ever abundant Carolina laurel.

Bamboo-age. I saw some brown ones off the freeway but they look good away from the freeways.
