Description

morning all :o) looking at this you would`nt believe it was a weed ,i actually think its a very beautiful flower .i think its related to morning glory but i know this one as bindweed because it strangles everything .the flowers only open in daylight and close on a night . this will be my last post for a week .we are going early tomorrow morning as its going to be a long drive especially with 3 grandkids and a caravan on the back lol :o)..355 miles in total and i`m hoping to get there by 4 pm tomorrow afternoon . will try and get everyone caught up today as i got so engrossed in a game last night on the ps2 before i knew it ,it was time for bed :o) thanks for looking and take care whilst i`m away and i`ll see you when i get back mick

So you're off to skip the light fandango, turn cartwheels 'cross the floor? Have a great time! :) We have bindweed here, too. It's everywhere! This is the time of year when it starts to take over the world. Horrid stuff. However, your photograph is beautiful!

And according to the short-term weather forecast for down here, that's the colour you'll stay, at least for the weekend! This is is lovely shot of this attractive thug, it grows freely on a bit of the cliff at Alum Chine and looks absolutely marvellous. Have a safe journey, i don't think I'd like towing much, even with my Volvo estate!

Yes I thought it to be a beautiful flower Mick, it grows in abundance down by the river Roch, it's in an area where nobody cares so it just multiplies at will. Excellent macro of this flower head. Bravo!!!!! Have a great week, I don't envy you at all, towing all that way and having THREE grandkids to cope with as well. One is a treat, two is a hard time, three is careless. Roflmao. Just kidding I'm sure they are all little angels. I hope the weather is kind to you, can't wait to see what you find.

This weed is amazing Mick and I can hardly believe something so beautiful could strangle out everything around it. (maybe it wants all of the attention for itself. lol) Great pic and be careful and have a good time with your family on the trip my friend.
