“One small crack
does not mean that
you are broken, it
means that you were
put to the test and
you didn’t fall apart.”
Linda Poindexter
Vandalism?
A little understanding
changes what we see.
Banana is a big grass,
not a tree.
When the banana bunches are full.
The plant completes it's cycle.
You cut the banana bunch,
And trample it to nurture the new growth.
You cut the banana bunch,
And trample it to nurture the new growth.
Only the root remains-
from which sprout new
banana "trees."
This is a semi-public space
in Waikiki frequented by the
homeless. This image makes
me think that someone
has Free Food
from the land -
and to share!
“My life is shaped by
the urgent need to
wander and observe, and
my camera is my passport.”

Warmly, cloudia
I could do with a few less urgent needs.
ReplyDeleteFree food and sharing are both wonderful things.
ReplyDeletea beautiful post today. i love all 3 of the quotes and i did not know bananas are a grass. My dad raised bananas and my hubby does to, so have had banana grass most of my life and did not know the grass part.
ReplyDeleteHomeless. In Hawaii. That shouldn't be. We are doing this wrong. I mean we as in the entire planet.
ReplyDeleteWise comments, my dears!

ReplyDeleteI have a banana "tree" in my garden, now I know it's a grass.

Thanks for participating Cloudia.
Nice tropical images. I can relate to Steve McCurry's statement.
