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.
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.
This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Vines. The colors are starting to turn around here. What about for you? HMMM!
Vines growing along a fence in The Vennel, with the imposing Edinburgh Castle perched on its rock in the distance.
Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal after Lisbon and one of the major urban areas of the Iberian Peninsula. It's a coastal city in northwest Portugal known for its stately bridges and port wine production. In the medieval Ribeira (riverside) district, narrow cobbled streets wind past merchants’ houses and cafes.
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.

Vine encroachment alert. I decided I should get a picture of this fence while there is still some fence visible. The vines are not content with just covering the tree. Obviously they are interested in world domination. HFF
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.

Here's a "tasty" image for you today of some Red Vines. No, not the candy, I'm afraid. These vines love to grow along chainlink fences, but create the most delightful subjects come autumn. It's not just the brilliant red color (though that helps), but also the great contrast of the dark fence that creates a great amount of contrast. Though the focus system of the 5D Mark IV doesn't seem radically different on paper, it is actually vastly improved in every area, and it's a treat to finally have DPAF on a full frame body.

Another black and white Holga photo captured last Saturday in rural Jasper County, Iowa. This simple composition is dominated by an old wire fence, its grid pattern partially obscured by a tangle of dry, leafless vines that crawl across the frame. The fence is anchored by an old wooden fence post, highlighted by the high contrast light from the cloudy sky. A fine art ‘ditch shot’.😆
