This is an extremely tall palm tree that is blocking the blazing sun. Is very warm today by the beach I'm sitting on my deck having a cup of coffee and reading Ripley's Game which is an amazing book by the way. The whole Ripley's series is very good. Patricia Highsmith was a very unique writer. & I think a very underrated writer. Most people don't know who she is. She seemed to have died alone in Switzerland in obscurity. My other favorite book by Highsmith is called price of salt. I don't know what it is about her writing that just mesmerizes me.
