Leaves

I love the intense colors in saturated

sunlight.  Colors, repeated patterns. 

Banana trees always remind me of hot

Texas summer days in my grandmother's

backyard.  She lived in the Rio Grande

Valley of southern Texas. 

Chickens, roosters, nopalitos and me

hiding under the giant banana leaves.
