I wasn’t lying when I said I have a ridiculous collection of palm tree photos in my library.
This looks like it was taken at a beach somewhere. Instead of approximately four minutes from my home. Palm trees are dotted around the neighbourhood. Posted up in front of almost every home.
Looking up, this cluster loomed above me. And I laughed to myself. Quietly, I’m British after all. The staggered heights of the trees in the distance combined with the perspective of closer trees put a smile on my face.
You see, much of what I photograph is just for me. Random moments that drew me in. The ordinary things that feel special for exactly one moment. Special to no one but me.
I wonder if I’ll see this same formation if I walk to the same spot tomorrow.
Taken on 4 October, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Seen something small worth noticing?
Reply with your own photo. I’d love to see it. There are just 3 rules: one image, no overthinking, bonus points for mediocre lighting.
P.S. I sell prints of my Probably Nothings. If you see something in the newsletter not for sale, let me know.
🪟 Probably Nothing is an every-so-often photo log where each issue features one small moment that was… well, probably nothing. Think morning light on a coffee maker, or the way a cloud decides to be dramatic on an otherwise unremarkable day.
