Forgotten Clematis

On one of my errands recently, I drove by a large Mexican restaurant surprised to see it had closed during the winter and was now quite abandoned. There was a low stone wall in front and blooming with carefree abandon all along the wall were these beautiful clematis. Normally I see clematis in June around here but this was just about a week ago and these were at peak bloom. No one is caring for them or watering them but they are thriving in our cooler wetter summer. Since no restaurant patrons see their beauty I felt obligated to share it with others.

I would probably be very disappointed to see the restaurant closed, since Mexican restaurants are my favorite place to eat. They left behind some beautiful foofies though. You captured them in all their beauty, Kathy. Well done.

Beautiful close-up of the abandoned flowers, Kathy. I'd love some of your cooler, wetter weather as Italy is in its 3rd week of a heatwave and so humid,.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
