E is for Everywhere


The five palm trees. I can see them from almost everywhere in downtown Hollister.  One of these days, I'm going to find out who planted them and whether there was a reason for planting them. After all, palm trees aren't native to the area. Here's another view of the five palm trees.

I'm going through the alphabet this month as part of the A to Z Blogging Challenge.  Click here to check out some other A to Z Challenge participants.

    1. Probably someone at the local historical society may know. A story to be told one day. :-)

  2. I live in Seattle now, but I used to be a Bay Area girl, so I remember Hollister well.

    1. Brrr. Won't be long then. I hope that we'll get more rain soon. Would be nice to see the green last through May and maybe into June.

  5. How neat! Those palm trees must be tall, or very high up? Jealous of all your warm sunshine :-)

    1. Very, very tall. The warm sunshine is nice, but would love some rain. Send yours over, if you have it.
