palm trees
Some people say that Los Angeles has no distinct weather pattern. No real winter or fall. Just sun and more sun. Contrary to popular belief, it does rain sometimes. It hasn't in a while which is sad because we need it. Having said that, I love sun. Warm is good. So are palm trees.

If you've ever been to Cinespia, the other thing that stands out about this place (other than the tombstones and the mausoleums) are the palm trees that line the cemetery.
I've been a regular at Cinespia screenings through the years and I always find myself briefly looking at the palm trees at some point while I'm there. It's kind of an interesting choice of flora for a cemetery. One would think some sort of pine or willow tree is best fit for a cemetery but the palm trees of Hollywood Forever Cemetery give this place a touch of LA or Hollywood. I suppose since there's a good amount of deceased celebrities buried here, it makes more sense.
