    Palms Unlimited

    Just when I thought I must have seen every type of palm tree known to man, what should appear, but a Ponytail Palm?

    I decided to check with Professor Google, and apparently, there are over 2600 species of palm trees, so no, I’ve definitely not seen them all, nor will I live long enough to do so.

    Alongside a secondary highway, in San Juan, Texas, there’s a little park that we pass often.

    There’s a mini Lady Liberty, so we’ve often wondered what the park was all about.

    Last week, we finally stopped to check it out.

    The park is a war memorial, dedicated to armed forces members from the area who died serving their country in various wars since WW2 . Its name is Liberty Park.

    The subject of this post, and my feature photo is the juxtaposition of the words carved in the back of the bench and the abandoned items on the bench that hinted that maybe someone had spent the night there. What would be your guess about this scene?
