Be Like The Bamboo
……………………………………….
Bend but don’t break. Be flexible yet firmly rooted
The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.
~ Japanese Proverb
Life Just Is
My thoughts through my photography and sometimes simply thoughts. Why should there be definitions everywhere? I just let my life to be indefinite…at least in my mind… :)

Indeed it’s been awhile, and having a new computer is awesome. Classes have also ince resumed and I find that I (surprise!) have less time than I expected!
Nevertheless, I have kept up with posts from other fellow bloggers and found this one quite compelling – so much so, I am sharing : ) Happy blogging & thanks Nandini
Thanks for sharing it there!
This is one amazing post. Thank you so much for sharing the insights, and your photosare stunning! Bamboo is an amazing substance, Ive always had some sort of fascination of it, even when I got splintered by it..
I’m so glad you liked these. Thank you so much. Always a pleasure to hear from you.
Lovely shots Nandini, especially that first one. I never would have thought of looking straight up the bamboo pole to take a shot.
I love the sound of the creaking that the 20 foot high bamboo forests make in the Royal Botanic Gardens near me. Sometimes you think it sounds like something is breaking and going to crash down on your head. Sometimes the bamboo bends over so much, I’m sure it will break, but it never does. Amazing stuff is bamboo and really amazing in the wind (the way it bends & sways).
Your words reminded of my times near the bamboo. The times of my childhood when I used to play around these trees. In fact, they were quite close to me. The creaking, yes, used to make me wonder too.
Thanks, Victoria, for sharing.
WOW! So impressive. I loved them dear Nandini, Thank you, have a nice day, love, nia
Thanks, Nia. Glad you liked them.
The beauty lies in the combination of the photos and proverbs, though both are excellent on its own.
I’m glad you liked the combination. Thanks, Marion.
