Generalized Tree Boles of Miami Beach

We take a broader view of tree boles when they're from Miami Beach. 

Miami and Miami Beach are well known retirement communities, and this is true for retired palm trees as well.  A number of palm trees used upright supports to maintain their erect status.  I guess the Palm tree walker with tennis balls on two feet and wheels on the other two feet has not been invented yet. 

One tree bole. 

Two tree boles.  

And this is three tree boles originating at the same spot, except you can barely see the third tree bole.  This was supposed to be the culmination of this series of three shots.  Instead, it's barely functional as a three tree cap stone picture. 

Miami Beach likes to wrap their new street lights in bubble wrap.  

This lamp has mugged a safari-goer and is wearing their pith-helmet hat as a trophy.  

Lot of little orange palm trees all over the streets of Miami Beach.  These mobile trees rove the streets until finally finding a place to set down roots.  Due to the dearth of good potting earth, they often do not

Dig those funky trees. 

Bole-side close up of one of those same trees.  You'd be kinky too with all that growth going on. 

O Bole Mio or Bole me down!

More pictures of tree boles.  Tree boles are an important subject in art and photography.  It is necessary to be able to pass your tree bole photographing course before moving on to portrait photography, for example.  You are supposed to practice on inanimate objects before moving on to real live people, for example. 

Our first bole with a set of surface roots.  We've seen this guy before I believe here.  This guy is an important subject, hence the generous two-photo treatment.  Here we see the the exposed root system. 

A rare triple tree bole sighting.  It requires extreme patience on the photographers part to wait until the trees line up just so.  Some photographers have waited years for this sort of alignment. 

An aged specimen.  Clearly this guy has been skipping his barber shop visits for years, perhaps centuries, resulting in a gnarled look. 

Now that's gotta hurt.  Unless you're an Auto-bot, it's hard to go over a tree bole, rather than around them like normal folks. 

In memorium.  This is the final resting place of a highly respected tree bole.  Note the special holographic display device inset in the ground and the group of 4 color guard to mark the location. 

A short tree bole.  This one has not risen to the heights seen in other tree bole pictures.
