I was engrossed reading a book (trying to catch up on some chapters) on this lazy weekend, when my wife and granddaughter asked me to drive them to the mall. Reluctantly, I obliged myself to do the requested task, thinking I need to buy a pair of sports socks anyway, so off we went.
The mall’s parking lot was full, so I was compelled to park my car by the bamboo grove just across the mall. While inside the department store buying my stuff, I thought I heard my car alarm beep so I rushed outside to check the car. It was false alarm, thank God! I decided to go back to the mall where my wife and granddaughter were still shopping -
But then, the bamboo grove seemed to beckon… Instinctively, I reached for my camera in the car and found myself taking photos.
Interesting, I like how you can find beauty in simple things!
Muchas gracias Ana!
Yes, as you have said in your latest post, we find beauty in simplicity.
We must bloom where we are planted. Beauty is all around us.
Chito, you have my admiration for your beautiful shots…and thank you so for the “Like”!
Muchos gracias, senor!
Muchas gracias, too!
And thanks also for the like and comment.
Been through your site. It’s fascinating.
I like your photos and thoughts.
See you around…
Gracias, senor!
You are very kind, and your own shots are inspiring to me!
I love bamboo, but I’ve not seen any that large in diameter around here in the Southeastern US.
Thanks for sharing your view and liking this post.
Certain species of large bamboo is endemic to the Philippines.
It is the world’s tallest grass, so they say. On its natural surroundings,
the bamboo grows tall and sprouts new shoots, all year round.
It is also a beautiful ornamental plant when potted and landscaped.
We process it into world-class furniture and make other by-products.
The bamboo is a lovely species of grass.
such lovely shoots, and you did a great job capturing them. i love it! thank you, also, for dropping by my bamboo shot! (smile) cheers, y
Hi Yi-ching,

Thanks so much!

and poetry. I like your blog too and will
