This is my fifth entry for this week's challenge. Yesterday I posted a shot of a panda eating bamboo. Today I ran out of outstanding tree shots like those being posted by other folks, so post this one of bamboo captured near Guilin, China, just in case anyone out there wants to dispute whether bamboo is a tree or not...
