    I spotted this pair the previous night and thought it would make for a great image. Unfortunately, it was not to be. However, the next night I saw the opportunity again, this time being able to get a few shots.

    Great framing, Ed. Love the palm trees in the foreground. I also saw the moon and Venus dance over the past few nights and took a few shots.

    Cool picture, are threes trees yours?

    That is quite a high quantity of coconut in the pictures, amazing.

    I didn't think it made such big clusters like that!

    The trees are in my neighbor's yard. By law, anything overhanging into my property is mine. My neighbors are cool about it. I can pick coconuts, mangos and avocados. I also have a few friends that have groves and are always giving me all sorts of produce.
