These photos were taken at a neighbor's place -- they'd had a lot of bamboo cut down and I went over to get some. Yes, I'd love to have my own bamboo grove but I know how quickly it would get out of control.
great pictures...we used to have one at my grandmothers house....we always thought it was a magic forest...and there were tigers roaming around in it...ha...we really got ourselves worked up...
Thanks, Glenda for the very kind words. I have to say that I like photography better -- it's easy and writing is, much of the time, hard work. Plus photography takes me outside. It's just a part of my life --I almost always have my camera with me and I'm always on the lookout for a good picture.
But my photography doesn't pay and writing does -- to some extent.

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over five years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.

Neat little crooks in some of those!
This straight and flourished plant is beautiful in nature, but it's better to avoid it in a garden !
Pretty pretty.

Where are the pandas?
Happy St. Patty's day. You are wearin' o' the green.

Vicki, your comment on this blog answers a question I was going to pose...about how aggessive bamboo can be.
I still remember some land adjoining a side of my high school's property with a true bamboo forest.

Interesting angles and shadows, light and dark...
Which do you enjoy most, Vicki, photography or writing?
You are such an artist, so good at both.
