Last time I showed you my Great grandparents cottage. This time, I want to show you this creative touch I found on the same farm, near the hard ground where they dry coffee beans. Not long ago, Geraldo posted a different view of the same basket.Update: Many of you have asked questions about the basket fountain. The basket is made of bamboo, the fountain uses running water, no pumps. As far as I know, bamboo is a very resistant material, and I don't know how long the basket lasts when used as fountain. The use of bamboo goes beyond landscaping and crafts, it is a very good green construction material and it can be used to make furniture too.
During a storm, the resilient bamboo simply bends every way the wind blows and after the storm is over it goes back to its original position.

Wow! Really pretty. How long will that basket hold up, I wonder?
Bonita foto, Cris! Eu já tinha visto no Geraldo, numa diferente perspectiva.

Nice picture Cris. How did you and Geraldo end up taking virtually the same picture. And this is all on the same farm your great grandparents were on?
What a nice touch! I like it alot...how long will the basket last?
Cris...this reminded me my childhood days! In summer, we used to go to near by farms and play/shower with farm water :)))
your photos always make me nostalgic!!
Beautiful picture ! Is this a real basket or from stone ?!?
I think it is a nice place to rest .
This is lovely. You live in a beautiful place.
I thought I recognized this scene :) I saw Geraldo's lovely picture of it too. You both did well capturing this scene.
I'm wondering the same as the others....is that a real basket, and if so, will it last a while?
You must still be a very busy girl!!! xoxo
yeah, there are so many uses of these grass, bamboo. and we've got lotsssss of it here. some old folks even use the word as an idiom, "it grows everywhere like bamboo".

Beautiful shot, Cris. The bamboo trees reminds me the whispering sound of the wind blowing on them; it's so calming. (Not when it is a storm, of course). When I was a I child, my parents said that it was dangerous to play inside the trees because could be snakes there.
See ya!
Thank you so much for your comments!
