Description

the sugar cane is cut from a field that is growning this year. iIt is cut about 3 to four feet long and is called mother cane. At ever two joints on the cane there is a eye. The eye is where the new cane comes from. The cane that is not cut will be cut when the sugar content is at the right level this year around Nov. to Dec. I hope to get some shots inside the sugar mill. I got to talk to them. You see on these three diff canes is a little eye like at one of the joints. yES THAT IS MY HAND AND I KNOW IT is dirty for I did not go home yet to take a bath. i got some white on the bottom of the nail because I was working with sheet rock mud that day at work thanks for looking and comments

Those are very clear and clean shots of the cane eyes. Every so often I see sections of raw cane in the produce section of the grocery store. I think I'll keep an "eye" out for "eyes." LOL Maybe I grow some cane for myself! I'll be anxious to see how cane becomes sugar. I went to the sugar plant in Sugarland, Tx many - oh, so many - years ago but it was so long ago, I can't remember how it was done!

The "eyes" have it in this fine collage of the surgar cane, that looks somewhat similar to bamboo, Jock! Interesting history related on the species, also.

I've never seen cane up close and personal before ... only shots of it growing, or being cut ... so this is fascinating! I had no idea. Makes perfect sense, though, now that I see your images.
