'Blue Star' variety shown here, with bright sunshine all around.
I had such high hopes for my Morning Glory plants this year. They are an annual here in Wisconsin and it had been years since I'd planted some. So I planted a mixture of seeds from a pack and they all sprouted and grew profusely, but hardly any blooms...
My soil is very fertile and this is often the cause of few blooms on Morning Glories. They are a plant that grows and blooms better in poor soil!
The flower above is my 6th flower of the season and I thought I should get a shot of it in case it is our last bloom!
Enjoy...

The Torre Glòries a.k.a. Agbar is a high-rise building designed by French architect Jean Nouvel. It is located in the Poblenou neighbourhood of Barcelona. According to its architect, the tower is intended to recall the shape of a geyser rising into the air. It was inspired by Montserrat, a mountain near Barcelona. In an interview, Nouvel described the tower as having a phallic character. It measures 144 m.
My heritage 'William Morris' roses. The Daughters of Glory.
One of the hardiest, most prolific, roses in the garden.
And here is the brilliant 'Black Sorrows' from 1987, with a magical live version of 'Daughters Of Glory'. Play this loud.

Happy New Year!
Here's wishing all of you a truly blessed year... with love that abounds, joy that sneaks up and surprises you, peace that isn't based on circumstance and a sense of His reality in ways you didn't think possible.
Thanks for being there with me as I journey along... your support is real...hard to explain to my non flickrite friends but you mean the world to me. Your creativity blows me away and inspires me to keep going!

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.
“Look back at our struggle for freedom,
Trace our present day’s strength to its source,
And you will find that man’s pathway to glory
Is strewn with the bones of a horse.”

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.
