I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Actually, now that I look at that pic again, there is over 200 washies, maybe 300, and if you look really closely, you can see Matty and Pohono nude sunbathing/spooning on the beach.

You know, it's called "Vert Spooning" (from the X games) using an egg timer for rotation purposes.

Post 3 & 4, those are awesome shots. You know a palm is happy when it is perfectly green (without even a scrap of yellow or brown), not to mention the scenery. The spear opening is neat too, I like the pic on post 17.
