    Morning Glory

    “Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.”

    A.A. Milne

    Field bindweed (Morning glory) is a twining weed which spreads by seed and by new plants arising from a perennial root system reaching ten feet or more in depth. The slender stems may reach six feet in length, running along the ground or climbing fences, crop plants, ornamentals, or other convenient supports. Years ago I needed to dig fence post holes and found roots 3 feet deep. Yet, I agree with Winnie-the-Pooh, they can be beautiful and photogenic.

    Wisdom of Pooh

    “Some people care too much. I think it’s called love.”

    Winnie the Pooh

    I spent some time at Arapaho Bend Natural Area yesterday evening. So glad I did. This image is taken near a small bench where I setup my camera and journal. There was almost no wind so the water was just like glass. Every once in a while a fish would rise to the surface, sending small waves to the shores. Several flocks of Canada Geese flew overhead letting the world know of their happiness. I loved watching the sun proudly shine its last rays of light on the end of the day. Such beauty offered to everyone. I was filled with gratitude. I will return. Because, as Pooh says, it’s called love. I’m off now to meet Eric for coffee and conversation. Have a wonderful weekend!
