Phoenix Canariensis

Phoenix Canariensis
Commonly known as a Canary Island Date Palm. This one is on Southsea Common, Portsmouth, Hampshire. I believe there are around another half a dozen dotted around the place. I took this shot as we were returning to the car..........it had just finished raining really hard, hence the grey skies and lovely diffused light,

Worth a look large, on black if you're so inclined.

Thanks to everyone who has visited, commented on and/or left me a star on one of my photos this past week. I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

I love the light just after a good storm Keith. This is a fabulous tree and at that size it must like Southsea very much! It's definitely worth viewing large....beautiful!

Hope you have a good weekend. Better weather on Sunday, apparently!

A really impressive palm, it's grown into a big tree! The green seems more intense after the rain.

Thank you Gudrun.................glad you like it. Southsea has some wonderful trees on the common and some lovely gardens, which are always well looked after. I'm lucky that it's only about a 10 mile drive from me.
