My macro lens is attracted to random details trying to make something on the moderately mundane level beautiful by bringing it up close. Welcome to Maple Rock Gardens Bamboo garden from up close! I hope you enjoy your tour. If you close your eyes and listen to the leaves rustle you might imagine we are in the rain forest together somewhere tropical and warm. I can hear the ocean, can you?

I love bamboo but don’t want to deal with it in my own yard. It takes me to Hawaii though.

We had bamboo in the previous house. Beautiful but the roots sneak under everything. (Have you been to Hawaï? I understand it is amazing, nature-wise)

Yes. A few times and it’s glorious. Kauai and Maui and Hawaii.

Definitely. Depending on where you are. Wildly different than anywhere else in the US. I LOVE IT THERE. Can’t get enough of it.

And it’s not too far from California, is it? 4 hours flight?

If memory serves it is actually more like 5 1/2. It’s a pretty good hall. About the same as flying to the east coast direct.

bit longer than flying SF to Mexico or MX to Colombia. At any rate much closer than southeast Asia (30h for us!) 🙂

They started having direct flights out of Sacramento a few years back which is awesome. No more stopovers in SF.

Better. A stopover adds like 3 hours with the flight.

It is. And now airlines are proposing Paris-London flights with a stopover in Amsterdam or Berlin, for cheap. Crazy. 🙂

I can understand the attraction. Many plants and flowers you won’t find at home.
