Flower of Bamboo 竹の花
I found a report of the bamboo flowering in the many corners of Japan from north to south. The Bamboo said to open their flowers only once in every 100 years, 120 years. And after the flower, all the plant dies leaving only their seeds behind. It seems it is their tactics of the survival as the species when they noticed that they are going to die, so, they made flowers and the seeds. As a plant, I don’t think they got any thinking let alone any delusion or fantasy, they only follow the Dharma = the rules of the nature. If the nature is going to have the problem, it’s the problem to us too. —– I don’t know why this news caught my eyes among the mountain of the Youtube viz. Still in my view, there is no such things like a coincidence = there must be the important to be noticed. —– If it would be a kind of natural disaster, there could be a certain area of Japan, not from all over Japan = if is it like the trouble of climate change ? —– in that case the news should come even from the Philippines or China as well. There are many spooky stories such as, before the ship sank, all the rat run away (rat knows the fate of the ship, before-hand) or strange behaviour of the animal before the earthquake etc. —– Something very serious might happen soon.

Snap-shot by DD-Pinhole
All the photos here were taken by my ” Wide-angle Double-density Pinhole” on
Canon 5D Mk-III. In fact on that day, I went for a walk only with this lens (?)
and the Tamron 500 mm Mirror lens, hoping to see Parakeets.
Original pinhole got about 60 degree of view though, with the additional concave
lens ( from a Canon Zoom lens) the angle was greatly widened to nearly 100 degree.
You may guess that the Pinhole Camera needs to have long exposure though,
with the advantage of Hi-ISO digital camera, such as with ISO 12,500, the shutter
time can be 1/80~1/8 like this outside shot. —– who care with slightly
blared photo on 1/4 or 1/2 slow shutter any way. 😀
The best thing was, no visual details were given in the image,
no further information would be needed. Photo has atmosphere only.
So, the photography (for me at least) purely a fun.
No complicated notion about the subjects or message in the photo
= image or the subjects were there just as they are.
To see the world in clear eyes, the world showed its fuzzy nature.
This paradox is what the Dharma is.

NATURE and NURTURE
When people talk about Nature and Nurture, those notions are regarded to be the counter idea.
But in reality, they are entwined inseparable factors.
Now a day, nobody denies the fact that the Gene combination affect one’s development which even
include the one’s psychological disposition and behaviour pattern.
——————–
The most obvious but most overlooked fact in this field is, ——— that the Child is Nurtured by
the Parent who is having the same Gene like their Child.
Except the adopted child, a half of the boy’s Gene come from the Father, and the Gene which makes
a baby to a man, came from the Father’s Y-Chromosome which is identical to the one the boy got.
———- Assuming the Father behave under the tendency of the Gene set, and the boy is growing up
seeing his ( Role Model’s ) behaviour pattern, while boy himself having (at least half of ) the same Gene
which giving the same drive to behave in the same way.
So that the reproductive process’ two key factors, Nature and Nurture are working toward same direction.
—————— I’m certain, this is the common knowledge, when the person reached to the age of 40th
everybody discover (whether the one feel comfortable or not ) how he (her) is a faithful reproduction of
his Father or Mother, not only the physical appearance or voice but also the posture and the mannerism
or the way to think and handle the things as well.——- ( Rough Father’s Child tend to be rough too )
Even if you are not aware of this, your wife or member of family knows this.
Which part is Genetic and other came from unconscious learning is hard to tell —– since it is entwined.
(So, the scientists are studying hard for the Identical Twin, but the one was grown up in the foster family
—— it is in deed, very interesting field )——- So far, mostly peculiar story of the twin come up to the news
such as, the twin grown up different family without knowing each other, yet still having had identical life.
It seems, The Karma is a part of the Nature——- fixed on the time of the birth. ——- Does this mean,
CAN’T WE escape from the KARMA ?
