Climbing ivy on a stone wall.
We're in a rainy period right now, but it's not cold. We need the rain, so we can't complain.

Le lierre
This stuff grows everywhere around here. Too bad it's not edible (although it does supposedly have some medicinal uses). It climbs up stone walls and tree trunks with equal vigor. Every spring we cut the ivy shoots that are climbing up our trees to try to keep it under control. I have a feeling it's a losing battle.

You should never let the wild girl Ivy get out of control.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Andrew
ReplyDeleteWild girl or not, beautiful picture anyway. As always, Walt is very good in that so called "Golden Ratio"!
ReplyDeleteIvy does make for a beautiful effect... until you have to repair the damage it does to the walls.
ReplyDeleteandrew, I've never heard it referred to that way!
ReplyDeletegosia, me too, I think.

mitch, we don't let it get on the house, anyway.
