Wild Morning Glory

Sometimes an old image gets a new face with black and white . . .

This morning we went on a rather strenuous hike – up and down hills to get to an inland section of the Santa Monica Mountains. I am not a fast hiker – rather plodding actually – because of a long history and experience with falls and broken bones. Every step is conscientiously placed, especially where there is scree and loose rocks. The flowers along the way provided excuses to pause . . .

Yet Another

…morning glory!

Even though they can cause a bit of damage left unchecked, these vines and their flowers are so cheerful!

A couple of things about this photo. 1) It is a seriously intense crop. 2) I enlarged it by 300%. Click on it to see it in all its glory. Whaddya think of the enlargement?
