Great angle!

Great shot, but this is the first humpbacked palm I ever saw

if you lived here you'd see a lot of them all weird around the keys and places they build around them rather than plant around the buildings.

Wonderful angle! Lovely shot!

Ok, screw you coming here, I'm going there! Where there are palm trees, there be mainly warm weather!!!!!!

Stunning shot!

Great shot! very nice contrast between the delicate green and the background

So I guess for me it's any mention of Utah and you it's New Zealand...

what can you do?

Not much difference in size. NZ is about the same size as Colorado.

Lovely photo, I never knew the daffodil was a Wales emblem, only knew the leek.

Great image, love the drip from the beak!

Nice focus! Not sure if it's an emblem or symbol but I don't care. Great framing and clarity! GL!

Thanks, Mute Swan is in the list for Denmark in the given link.

That's nice, but it's not "national"

How is the Eagle not a national symbol?

An eagle is, but your description says it's for California. But, the description says state or national... so just forget I said anything. GL

"State which country, region or state is represented." - on theme too me

Okay......The Bald Eagle in the center represents THE USA. The fact that is made out of gold signifies that it also represents California, the Golden State. Hence the tittle "Double Whammy" because I have covered both Nation and State. Is that more clear?

Wow! Author! I would have never guessed this was yours! You have really improved your photography skills since I've known you! Well done and GL!
