Description
On January 14, 2015, I was fortuntate enough to be on the coast of St Maarten. The sun was warm, the Caribbean Sea was crystal clear and such a gorgeous shade, and the cloudless sky was so peaceful! And then I saw this incredible curly, tangled beautiful tree, that to my untrained eye appeared to have two types of leaves, palm-like and small rounded ones. The lone trees were everywhere, but this one just drew me under its beautiful branches. I didn't even see the bird sitting among the branches at first! I have finally discovered it is the national tree of St. Maarten, known as a Royal Ponciana. Anyway, I couldn't think of a more peaceful place to spend the last three weeks during COVID shelter-in-place. Hope you like it too and that it brings you peace. :)
