goes before destruction and haughtiness
and before a fall.

ends in destruction; humility ends in honor.

I have now added another photograph of when I returned to Australia in October 2011 and you can see how the recovery has taken place.

That is a mess. They must have been very proud bananas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame...but I'm hoping that by next year, things will be improving.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and leaving a very complimentary note for me today at I'd Rather B Birdin'
HI Anni This was 3 years ago and I stayed there 2 months and in that time I was amazed how things were already recovering but it took about 6-12 months before they had bananas and so they were EXTREMELY expensive in the shops, about £1 each, needless to say we did not buy many at all.
DeleteI can see they are already growing back in the 2nd picture.

Very powerful images!

Wow, I can't figure out what size these banana plants or trees are. They look short but I figure they must be quite tall when full grown. It's nice to see the new growth in your second photo.
ReplyDeleteawww, such a shame!! but perhaps some animal benefited in some way, or the ground was enriched!! nature is so often so hard to understand!!
ReplyDeleteSo good to see the After pictures. How devastating that cyclone must have been for the farmers and the whole area. Glad it is bouncing back some,
ReplyDeleteMargaret, I have quoted this verse to elderly relatives when they refuse to use walking aids because of pride or misguided determination.
ReplyDeleteBananas are my fav fruit! How hard on the farmers. Hope they had crop insurance. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Janice.
That is so sad. I wondered what had happened. Nature can be furious in its power.
ReplyDeleteMother Nature can be so cruel. I hate it especially when the big shade trees get blown down after a tornado or storm... It takes SO many years for them to get that large.... BUT--it happens, and we all just have to put up with it. Sorry about the bananas --but at least, they can/will come back... Tis Life --even though it is upsetting.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
Thanks Margaret, that helps.
ReplyDeleteSo good to see them recovering Margaret. Very interesting post!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen anything like this! I am so glad it is back to looking this good! Wishing you a blessed Sunday.
ReplyDeleteSadness rules, but, there will be another day.
ReplyDeleteHow sad to witness such devastation!
ReplyDeleteStorms can cause a lot of damage. Glad to see the plants recovered well.
ReplyDeleteIt is always amazing how the earth recovers from these things. Like Mount St. Helens did, much, much faster than they were predicting.
