Morning glories are made for climbing, and the ones I started back in June haven’t disappointed.

They started off small, but given a little room to grow and something to hold onto, they pulled themselves up (would you expect anything different?) and are still doing what they always do, sharing their beauty.

Remembering when they were little, in one of the planters

I also planted some in the garden, but these ones were destined for the back of the house. They had a summer romance with the fire escape, and now in fall, they’re still showing their color.

It was Saturday, I was giving two friends a little moving help, and I took some pictures. “Oh! A photo shoot!” my friend said enthusiastically, in her way. I think she was right.

Flowers, seed pods, and former flowers turning into seed pods – it’s all there, something for everyone and something also to help a few friends remember a long day before the start of a long ride.

Is that seed pod smiling?

Maybe it’s mirroring the morning glory nearby.
