Hiding in plain sight is this double headed date palm tree in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida - Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm @ f/5.6 ISO 200 3-exposure HDR handheldI must have walked right past this double headed date palm tree dozens of times, but not until I was out teaching a DSLR Photography Lesson last month did I notice this most unusual tree hiding in plain sight. Believe it or not, this is not the first time I have seen a double headed palm tree before. Two years ago I found a cabbage palm in Cape Coral with two heads (see here). Perhaps they are actually not that rare of an occurrence in nature?
This double headed date palm is near the corner of 1st Ave N and 1st Street N in downtown St. Petersburg. Go and check it out for yourself!
