18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Green Bananas Brazil's country side

During the pandemic we have decided on taking grandma to a small country house we built, she wanted that place to plant bananas. While spending sometime there I started appreciating the beauty of nature in a different way with less attention to the exotic and a little more attention to the ordinary beauty. Grandma used to say that during her childhood bananas where almost everything they would eat when having no money. They would fry it, make bread, soup, sweets.
