I was stopped dead in my tracks recently by this image at a nearby botanical garden. A clump of bamboo unhappily growing in a bed in front of a fuchsia wall caught my attention. This single wayward cane and its curling branch and few leaves demanded I photograph it. There were a few more scraggly leaves at the top of the cane but this is what caught my eye. It remains one of my favorite images.
