Looking close... on Friday! Theme: Silhouette

Park of Southern Cultures, Adler.

Best viewed large. These vines were so pretty wrapping themselves all the way up this dead tree.

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!

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!

In fact, this is a withered vine leaf. But it could also be a view from an aeroplane of an autumnal river estuary.

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.

This is number 92 of Adventures in chaos.

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. This image was featured in Flickr's Explore at position 17

“Creating your home isn’t an instant action. It’s a process.”- www.missmustardseed.com. You have to admire the intricate nesting places that some birds find and create for their families. This Pidgeon obviously doesn’t mind a bit of clutter whereas I am working towards minimalism in our home. 😏

This Black Squirrel sits in peace surrounded by vines.A great place of protection from predators such as hawks and owls and even harassment from other squirrels.

This vine will flourish still, as rare

,As fresh, as fragrant as of old.

Love will not crumble.'

The autumnal vine leaves have a great variety of colours, different shades of red, orange, yellow and green. My favourites are usually the red ones but the yellow leaves also look spectacular when they are glowing in the sunlight.
