Word #1 (Associate Freely)

[liveonearth]

OK, here's how it works. Behind the cut there is a word (or phrase). After you click the cut and read the word, open a comment window and write down your first few thoughts or associations and send them back to me. Nothing is too weird; it doesn't have to make any sense at all. Just the first thing you think of, and more if you want.
OK, what is the first thing to come to mind:

palm tree

the contrast between highly cultivated, manicured and trimmed palm trees in downtown Palm Springs (which were also illuminated at night) with the wild, naturally growing palm trees in the desert.

Florida.

Boring, I know, but I have relatives in St. Petersburg.

I picture that palm tree(which wasn't really a palm?) that you had in your apartment at the barn. In its big pot, pretty shiny leaves, well-loved and taken care of.
