I like Palo Borrachos when their trunks are green and spiky. I also liked the contrast of the green against the red brick.

Thanks for visiting this blog. I'm an American living in Buenos Aires since Feb. 2008 but I also lived here in 1993, 1999 and 2000. If you think I've misrepresented something, please leave a comment [hablo castellano]. I don't update this site much anymore but please visit my personal site. I still take pictures like crazy.
If you would like to use an image or get a full resolution version please email me at thobbs at gmail dot com.
Thanks!

Yes, a nice contrast in colours. My eye is also drawn to the the grey stubbles on the tree trunk. To someone not living in Buenos Aires they seem so unexpected.
The palo borracho or silk floss tree is native to northern Argentina. I was recently in LA for a couple of weeks and they're all over the place, used as landscaping. Despite having grown up in California, I only noticed them on this trip.
