What a great find, and your capture is wonderful, all that lush green, top stuff maz! :)

Great shot of this baby! the other stuff looks good too!

Finally, a coconut doing what it is intended to do:) Great find.

I can safely say I have never seen anything like this! I'm sure, it must make sense, they have to grow from somewhere but I never gave any thought as to where or the purpose of the coconuts themselves. Very cool and very educational shot!

i suppose that volcanic soil really has quite an influence on how things grow.

cool green wonderful capture warm hugs, Linda

Marilyn, great find and capture!

Any relation to El Pollo Loco? I echo MrsRatbag's comments in re this masterful shot, Marilyn.

great shot

Wonderful capture. Love the contrast with the coconut, black sand and all that beautiful green. Dana

Behold! This is one nut that made it! It works for me.... Love it! Aloha

Oooh, I like this! I love the way this little guy is nestled in with other bits of greenery, almost hidden, but well within plain sight as well. Fantastic work again.

love Denise's comment, I didn't think about it either: I didn't realize the coconut carried the seed for the tree. The shot is another of your wonderful juxtapositions: all those thick tropical leaves, a sudden break into dark gravel, a big coconut sprouting a tree & just sitting there (and above ground!), the odd detritus in the gravel, and some kind of branch across the top—a real marilyn mix, vital & vivid, strange & exciting, and always a discovery. I truly didn't know coconuts were the seed: But they're the fruit, so of course they carry the seed. Something else I learn from your gallery everytime I come here...
