My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 358 - Bodacious Bamboo Shadows - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, January 30, 2025

Warm greetings fellow shadow hunters! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

For my entry in Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 358, I'd like to share some photos that I took yesterday evening, and today in the afternoon, of some lovely shadows dancing on the culms (botanical term for grass stems) of Bambusa chungii, a striking bamboo with white bloom on its new culms. Bamboo and shadows are a natural duo in photography, as you can see.

One reason that I love to photograph this particular bamboo is because of the sharp contrast between the stark white of the young bamboo culms, and the dark delineation of the shadows. I hope that you appreciate them as much as I did when I took them! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
