If you like what you see, and are tempted to lift something for your own use, you need to contact me and play Mother May I. Extra points for genuflecting and offering recompense, linkage, and obsequious tribute. If you reproduce my photos, art or writing without asking, I will track you down with my Googlehounds, and you don't want that. Aooooooo!

Ah, childhood memories of morning glories around the poles that held my grandmother's clotheslines.
Your glory is showing!
—Gabe Brothers
I knew someone who once had an iguana whose favorite food was morning glories. I have this picture in my mind of a spiky green lizard eating gorgeous blue blossoms in the Californai sun, and smiling.
I think I fall all over blue flowers because they're such a rarity. At least they seem that way--so many reds, yellows and purples--and only handfuls of blue.
Chicory, despite its choice of weedy friends has been a favorite, too.
Such a treat to see them carry on into the chill of fall.
Baker has a discriminating eye.
I would expect no less of Chet.
Awww... love that photo of Chet with the blooms. :c)
"Exquisite" is the word that comes to mind. I love the color of the flowers in that first photo.
Love your website Julie! [So glad I found it at retrieverman's website.] Sammy Bourke at www.sammystory.net.
