flower and bud
Not too many flowers around here yet, so I was in the archives looking for something spring-y for Looking Close on Friday's single flower theme. I tried cropping this to the one flower, but I liked the background blur. Besides, it's autumn clematis, so it doesn't fit the theme or the time of year. But I'm feeling nostalgic this week and seeing this reminds me of the day I took it - wandering around New London, CT. This was in a downtown parking garage. A thick wire rope divided the parking row from a walkway, and somehow, this clematis was growing along the wire. It seemed far too dark in there for flowers, but there was an area of wire where the noon sun was pouring through, and I guess the clematis had found it and was doing quite well.
Note to self: look for the light and be adaptable. :-)
