Morning Glory at Loch Ard #aberfoyle #loch #lochard #autumn #mist #sunrise #scotland #fuji #fujixt2 #fujifilm #thisisscotland #lovesscotland #visitscotland #scotspirit #explorescotland
Lots of blue ones blooming now. They like the sun. Ones I have in partial sun have healthy leaves but rarely bloom.
I'm planting lots more next spring.

A hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin at Yellowstone National Park. The distinct color of the pool is due to bacteria which inhabit the water. On a few occasions, Morning Glory Pool has erupted as a geyser, usually following an earthquake or other nearby seismic activity. Several entryways have been clogged due to objects being thrown in by tourists, reducing the hot water supply, and in turn altering the overall appearance of the pool. Several attempts by park officials to artificially induce eruptions to clear the pool of debris and clear blocked entryways have been met with mixed results. Due to the damage caused by ignorance and vandalism, it has been suggested that Morning Glory is becoming a "Faded Glory".
This was our first trip with digital cameras, almost 10 years ago. I am slowly adding photos to this album as time allows.
A bush morning glory playing host to a little skipper butterfly.
Skippers are a group of butterflies placed in the family Hesperiidae within the order Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). They were previously placed in a separate superfamily, Hesperioidea; however, the most recent taxonomy places the family in the superfamily Papilionoidea, the butterflies. They are named for their quick, darting flight habits. Most have their antenna tips modified into narrow, hook-like projections. Moreover, skippers mostly have an absence of wing-coupling structure available in most moths. More than 3500 species of skippers are recognized, and they occur worldwide, but with the greatest diversity in the Neotropical regions of Central and South America.
I had a fun afternoon yesterday on the beach with tall Paul, but as I was driving back home I spotted this late burst of sunlight at Little West . It wa great watching the suns rays light up the Devon coastline. Glory days is by Pulp. It's a lovely sunny day today and the washing is on , so a day for kestrels again perhaps.
In addition to the usual suspects, all three warbler species of yesterday and the ruby-crowned kinglet are still here. Then this morning this purple finch dropped in, and I also heard the first warbling vireo of the season. Each new day is bringing new treasures, and there's a more-or-less continual parade of birds in the fountains. We're entering the glory days of birdwatching. Purple finch, backyard Olympia.

FALLEN GLORY...
I love Autumn; I perceive it as a time of 'reflection', look back on the past of this year, remembering the joys of spring, the warmth of summer... and always the light!
It can be a bit nostalgic, the days get shorter, the shadows grow taller, however... the evenings get longer... it is cosy, bring out some candles, we seem to get ready for the 'hibernation', being more inside, wondering what this season has in store, will it be wet?
Will it be cold? Will it be white?
A long autumn and short winter, or a short autumn, making winter seem endless?
Here the days now start quite misty, but the sun is still strong enough to burn it off, the evenings are cold, the skies are most beautiful, with sunsets to die for...
In a sudden burst, the leaves change from tired-looking into this magic coat of colours.
If lucky the fun can last, but it often takes only a few stormy hours to make it a multi-coloured carpet, baring the now skeletal trees.
Food for the roots, the new leaves next year... and so it goes on... year after year...
A COLOURFUL GOOD-BYE!
Taken in the studio, it was an 'easy' one to light!
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

Reliving the good ol' times, every once and a while, when the mood struck him, Sebastian Bachelstein liked to throw in a VCR tape with one of the promotional videos his band, Skid Row Row Your Boat did back in the day and just rock out!
Of note: The requisite 'eye candy' for rock videos was in this case provided by The Ravishing Raymonds - a dancing/acting/cavorting sister duet made up of Hildegard and Anastasia.

'Glory Days' - Bruce Springsteen seems rather appropriate here, I think.
I looked in the greenhouse at my husband's tomato plant (we have more outside) and saw the Gloriosa blooms in the green foliage. The pot is below the bench and the stalks had grown up through slats in the back bench and given us their blossoms. The only way I could get the picture was from this side: through the tomato leaves (and a few tomatoes), to the blossoms and on beyond. The view behind is through the green house glass window to the plants and hills beyond. The image looked like an old tapestry, so I gave it texture and a Terri lynn layer. View On Black
Endeans Mill is deep in the central North Island and close to Pureora Forest Park. A wonderful historical site filled with aging relics of the timber industry.
Beach morning glory
Campanita de playa
a trailing evergreen vine with showy white flowers. It typically blooms in summer and fall but may bloom year-round. It occurs naturally on coastal dunes where it is an important sand stabilizer.
Blooms are large (about 2”+) and funnel-shaped with fused white petals and yellow centers.

I love it when the morning glories take over the west end of our front garden and porch. And, I love the sun coming through the soft, sensitive petals. At least, I shot this blossom from behind, accentuating the lines/ribs that striate the petals. So far, this seems to be the only colour coming up. I did process this to give it a more 'illustration' kind of look.
seem like i always miss those "fence friday"..etc well today I gonna make it fence sunday! haha
I finally got the time today to catch up on everybody's stream today!
Yesterday I dropped off my first roll of film to get developed, in which I haven't touched film since like 2003. Finally got the chance to use my dad's old seagull 35mm SLR. I was actually very please with the result! might upload a few on here when i get the chance to get them scanned.
Enjoy this lovely sunday!

STRUCTURE of a LEAF/LEAVES
Ipomoea pes-caprae, also known as bayhops, bay-hops, beach morning glory, railroad vine or goat's foot, is a common pantropical creeping vine belonging to the family Convolvulaceae. It grows on the upper parts of beaches and endures salted air. It is one of the most common and most widely distributed salt tolerant plants and provides one of the best known examples of oceanic dispersal. Its seeds float and are unaffected by salt water.
This species can be found on the sandy shores of the tropical Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. It is common on the sand dunes of Australia's upper north coast of New South Wales, and can also be found along the entire Queensland coastline.
