Day 241 - a Year by the Sea

August 29, 2007 by OrientSee.

This vine is ubiquitous in the woodsier, thicket parts of the marsh. It does its best to strangle whatever trees or shrubs that it climbs. It doesn’t rival kudzu in its ability to grow and cover everything but it does have a certain robust aggressiveness. At any rate, there it is wrapped around this old tree and fall has reached out and touched it. Growing has stopped and the vivid colors are a loud announcement of that state. I wonder about all the white on my head and in my beard. We don’t get to display gorgeous golds, reds and oranges just faded grays and white. I am a little envious of the colorful appearance but at least, I’m going to last a few more decades not just a few months.

Ciao!
