My entry:
Pulling the old leaf-bases away from our silver palm tree this morning here in Thailand gave me a good chance to look more closely at them. The tree itself is impressive with its enormous fan-shaped leaves of silvery-green but these dead sheaths were full of much less obvious textures and patterns. Up close they were well worth exploring for a few minutes. The rich browns of decay were blended into the lighter shades of drying with leathery wrinkles and cracks, flakes and fibres. It was a fascinating combination of the organised structure in the plant and the chaos of its slow disintegration.
