Document the Life of a Banana Leaf
The bright idea came to me when I first saw this new banana leaf.
Wouldn't it be cool, to show the world before and after typhoon photos of the thing ?
Even, during the typhoon, I went out there with a camera.
And, it was windy, sometimes, I got wet.
The typhoon didn't kill the new leaf, just shredded things a bit.
We got some tough bananas in this part of the world.
Almost every day, I went out and shot photos of the banana tree.
Some people think it's crazy but, it's where I take my smoke breaks, anyway.
It only takes a few seconds to set up a camera.
So, that's what I do.
It's a heck of a lot easier than trying to do pushups while you're smoking.
One day, I caught a snail, slimming around on my favorite leaf.
Snails can't be good for plants so, I threw it over the fence.
The damage, may have already been done.
The whole banana tree looks like it's about to give up.
But, I keep going out there and shooting every day, anyway.
There isn't anything fascinating about dead banana tree photos. I know.
Once my mind is made up, to do something, I just keep on doing it.
So, if you don't like bananas, look at the poinsettias or, hibiscus flowers.
Meanwhile, excuse me, while I continue to drive myself bananas !
