On My Morning Walk

My husband and I got an early start today, so decided to go out to breakfast before he had to head into work. The restaurant we like is about two miles from home. So as he drove into the office, I had a nice walk home in the perfect 67º morning air.


About a third of the way home, this gorgeous clematis was crawling up one side of a chain link fence and cascading down the other. I've never seen clematis blooms quite this big before. The flowers were stretching east into the morning sun.

Look into the background and you'll see the deep red roses climbing the fence beside these purple blooms. Such wonderful, intense color on this pristine day.

I was glad I had my camera-phone with me!
