Photo Hunt - Twisted


The subject for this week's entry for Photo Hunt is twisted. We still have not taken down the string or cut down the dead Morning Glory stems from last summer. The test of the string and the twisted nateure of the plant provide a double whammy for this week's theme

    I was wishing I had taken a picture of our morning glory from last year. My husband just cut the grass for the first time this spring, and ours was on the ground, so the old vines are gone for now. I am glad you captured some!

  23. B&W really made the picture more intense. Great post for the theme. Mine is up @ The Cafe.

  24. Love the black and white composition.
    In Chinese society, if a woman is referred to as a morning glory flower, it means she has pass her prime.

    Someone will get a black eye if he calls me that! hahaha....

  78. I didn't know that Morning Glory's had such twisty vines.

    They can tie up some of their flowering competitiors and take over the whole garden.

    Don't turn your back on them for a moment, jams.

    ReplyDelete
  79. They can be rampant. They also self seed with abandon. Still we love them to bits!

    ReplyDelete
  80. I love this b/w photo!!!
