Another palmy view out the window topic

Here’s my living room window on a fine Corona Viral evening 

The big palm is a Parajubaea cocoides.

Show us your palmy window pictures!

Very nice view, @DoomsDave!  Better than looking at curtains or blinds by a long shot!

Nothing like your jungle Dave but here is a shot through the window of from left to right: A. Cunninghamiana, Chambeyronia Macrocarpa. A Maxima with a Roystonea Regia creeping in the background. All of my palms are still thrashed from the winter Santa Anna’s and waiting for this cold spell to get over and back to spring.

No , these are metal security doors. I replaced ones that looked like they might be for a bank or some type of institution.

Show us your palmy window pictures!

I'll play....  First three are from my home office windows.  Archonto's with Monsertera delicoiosa and Aloidendron Hercules to the west.  North windows straight out look at a Cycas tropophylla x micholitzi with some hanging Tillandsia, and the other window looks out on a still young Kentiopsis oliviformis right on the verge of forming some trunk.

My wife has a project room with desk that has the better view looking south out on a Howea belmoreana, Burretiokentia hapala, Pritchardia flynnii, orchids, Monstera deliciosa, clivia and some Aroids sort of hiding in the back.

One of the bedroom windows looks out on another little side garden with the Cycas thouarsii x cupida, Dypsis plumosa, Foxy Lady and more cycads beyond (Lepidozamia p, Cycas thouarsii, Encephalartos laurentianus).  The big laurentianus is better seen from a different bedroom window though.

Finally some family room views where the Pritchardia hillebrandii looms large off the deck, while my Chambeyronia houailou is the prime view looking out one of the windows in the opposite direction.

Every window in my house has a palmy view since palms surround the house.   First two pics are out kitchen nook with sabal causiarum and beccariophoenix/borassus ethiopum.  These are all wide angle to get the height in as much as possible.

next is a view out my 12' sliding glass door in the back which opens up to the lanai.  This area has lots of overhead crownshafted palms.  Dypsis pembana, dypsys lutecene, chambyeronia macrocarpa, kentiopsis oliviformis, 3 species of achrontophoenix(max, ales, myola) are visible.  Ishot away from sun, but there are more palms including royal, beccariophoenix alfredii to the right in th epic(into the sun so I didnt take a pic).   The next pic is from the master BR looking up at the jungle canopy, this canopy looks amazing on a full moon night and the shadows cast on the ground are incredibly palmy on near full moon nights.  I would need a better lens and tripod for a night time pic, I mahy look into that.  The last photo is also out the master but looking toward the lanai on the right.  the fence is 7' tall, royal is over 35' and again a wide angle lens crop frame 17 mm=full frame 22mm) squashed the height to get it in as it too close for a normal 35mm view.

Years ago my wife pointed out that we had palmy views out every window, both upstairs & down. Funny, I'd never noticed. Women and their attention to detail, geez. Anyway, here's a couple images; one of the north side of the living room, one looking out the second story master..
