I was out walking and came across a dead frond from a palm tree. That got me thinking of how I could use this piece of nature in images. This series of surreal, and at times humorous images, is the result. The frond can be a hat, it can be a beach shelter from the sun and the rain, it can be a boat in a storm or a carriage taking a bride to her wedding. It can be a portal to another world or a frame for autumn trees. It can turn birding around where a large bird looks at a tiny human. The frond can be the horns of a dilemma or reflect the uncertainty or persistence of time.
