Wisteria vine at Ashikaga Flower Park. Huge and more than a hundred years old Wisteria tree.
I took picture with Kaz in this flower park, we had a wonderful time together.
The tree was dead, the vine was red! The warm light brought out the gold of the bark ... the only sound was the click of my camera!
We stopped for lunch along this beautiful creek just to the east and several thousand feet lower than Yosemite National Park.
Have a great evening and weekend.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

I have to wonder if this was the butterfly that Mohamid Ali was referring to when he said "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"
These beauties really seem to float as they gather around their host plant.
Host plants in my yard: Passiflora Biflora and Corky Stem vine.
Have a beautiful Tuesday, happy snapping.
Vine ripe tomatoes are readily available all year long from our local markets,
we had simple salad with tomatoes and Cucumbers, some Greek virgin olive oil wine vinegar S/P and Greek oregano.
Boiled pound of Shrimp and we had our dinner.
A tip for perfect timed boil, Add your frozen shrimp in a pot with cold water with some seafood seasoning, when the water comes to boil close the fire and strain the shrimp,
Most tender shrimp you ever had!
In fact, this is a withered vine leaf. But it could also be a view from an aeroplane of an autumnal river estuary.

Clytostoma callistegioides is a genus of woody-stemmed vines from tropical America, native to Argentina and the southern part of Brazil. In late spring, the spectacular 1.5in (3.8 cm) trumpet flowers are borne terminally or along the branches.
You see roses quite often in the vineyards here. They aren't planted in the vineyards because they are beautiful but because they serve as an early warning system. Roses attract insects like aphids before the vines. They also get fungal diseases like black rot and mildew before the vines do. So if the winegrower notices symptoms on the rose he may still have time to protect the vines.
This shows part of a trumpet vine which grows along a wall on the terrace and I've been meaning to take a photo of the beautiful flowers for a little while as this year it has been resplendent. These trumpet vines are very popular in the region. By this time last year all the flowers had been and gone because of the intense heat but this year it has flowered time after time as the heat hasn't been so intense this summer. We had one or two days where it was nudging 40c but that was the exception. Fortunately, we've escaped the terrible heatwaves they've been experiencing in Italy and other parts of the southern Mediterranean.

Note the decoration on the outside of the bottle neck. Presumably this is a manufacturer's mark.

This is an interesting story. I was directed to this pole by a Flickr pal from three states away. On my last power pole photo, he said to me that there was a pole covered in vines at the corner of Courthouse Road and White Chapel Road. The other day when I made a dump run I took a detour and went by this place. He was right and there was the pole covered in vines. Imagine my surprise.
I managed to find it on Google Earth, but I couldn’t tell it was a power pole. I think he is a warlock. Thank you Equinox27. This one is for you. www.flickr.com/photos/equinox27/

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid,, Bower vine (slightly cut)
Here in Holand, we call this 'trompletbloem' (Pandorea jasminoides). Behind it the plane trees of our dike. "It is a woody climber with pinnate leaves that have three to nine egg-shaped leaflets, and white or pink trumpet-shaped flowers that are red and hairy inside." Source Wiki.
We imported this one from the Sotavento some 8 years ago and it's going strong. Ah, the changing climate...
A Bower vine flower is here.
