Cor blimey, look at that beast.
😂 It's a worthy beastie. I was impressed.
The next time I'm in that park I'll be equipped with what I take for foraging and hack off a chunk, one with shoots (haha). No one will care, the thing wants to take over. I was just so surprised at the roots. I thought you'd have seen them. I did some reading to learn more, soil type, conditions it likes, etc. There are so many species!
I think you're hooked on bamboo. Besides being so cool, I tend to make use of it for various things, like all my polishing sticks for carving.
Although my big monster black one is suffering from yellowing leaves and Iam worrying that it might be approaching the relams of death which would make me terrible sad
Awww, that's not a happy thought. I didn't know they die off. Maybe it just needs something altered in it's environment.
Most people would probably think you were doing a service by pruning the big taking over mofof back somewhat.
I probably need to sacrifice something to the elder gods in the shade of its black canes. That oughtta work ;O)
That's a good point, saves the city crew from digging it out.
They seem to like blood sacrifices, so maybe if you shed some of yours that will be appeasement enough for the elder gods, lol. I see that elder gods seems to come from H.P. Lovecraft. Have you read him? I haven't read his books but I have looked at illustrations closely.
When I was younger I read a lot of his stuff, teenage'y years I think. It has forever influenced me! I love the illustrations too. Anything Elder gods'ish gets my juices flowing!
I really do have to read his books. The illustrations are so interesting and well done.
Sounds Vikingish, bet you got some of that blood running in those veins.
I can only hope that the blood is running in these veins! It would explain a lot, lol!
From all your posts, there's this kind of subtle thread that runs through that is rather Vikingish. Some of those facial expressions in your cover images, I imagine you striking fear into the hearts of enemies in battle, scorching them on the spot with a laser gaze. 😁
I do do a good battle shout! But it is more likely they would piss themselves laughing at my fierce face because it looks funny :OD
