Ivy

Yesterday didn't turn out at all as I'd planned. A late breaking news story meant that I didn't
finish work at 2pm so I didn't get to meet a friend for lunch in a new cafe.
But I did have time to take Fudge for a walk in the warm afternoon sun. I've often
meant to take a photo of this ivy growing on the top of an old railway bridge. Ivy
is most usually associated with winter images, but I like how the flower heads are
reaching for the sun as fluffy white clouds pass by.
And installing a new anti-virus program meant I didn't get the chance to upload
this last night.

A curious shot this one; almost looks like a picture from a story book rather than something live. The plant looks unnaturally sharp (not in a bad way, more in the literal sense) and the sky almost looks like a painted backdrop. It makes for a different and quite pleasing effect.

It's thriving with it's face to the sun!! A pretty green!!

It's a very lovely image, especially against that pretty sky.

I always feel that ivy is much maligned. This looks really attractive against the blue sky.

This green is pretty against the blue sky.
