Fine form! What’s the plant Tom?
Thanks, Belinda! 🙂 It’s a wild plant… Bur Cucumber; these are common in our area. It was growing at the edge of some woods.
Thanks.
It’s a beautiful photo. It reminds me of the kind of curled ribbon that adorns gifts — in this case, the “ribbon” itself is the gift!
Yes, those fancy ribbons aren’t as common, these days, as they once were! 🙂
Great tie in, wonderful photo, and curling – which we don’t have here.
Thank you, Paul! It’s most popular in Canada, and in a few other countries but is gaining in popularity. 🙂
From what I’ve seen it is quite unusual, can’t quite describe it – it’s not hockey or bowls – but bears some connection. 🙂
Such a delightful natural curl!
Yes, Sandy, i thought so too! Very precise and orderly! 🙂
Yes!
Beautiful macro
Thanks, Leyla! I like this one a lot too! 🙂
around where live Man & monkey there curling club. Man love curling but back and knees and legs of Man too old for start new hobby sport. it very unfortuante. if Man = 30 year younger he definitely take up curling what he describe as playing marbles on ice.
Too old, with arthritis, here too, Mr. Monkey. It’s kind of neat to watch though. A lot more strategy is involved than a lot of people think… rather like chess! 🙂
Such tender and bright-green shoots making their way into the harsh world.
These tender shoots belong to a plant that can dominate an area by strangulation of “other” plants via vines prior to covering them with their leaves. Actually, they aren’t as bad that way as wild grapes are — they are more low to the ground plants — but they can be fairly dominant at times! 🙂
They look so dainty to be so invasive … I have purple nightshade growing through my bushes and barberries and it is tough to get rid of it as it has wound itself through everything!
I’d much rather watch this firm of curling. It’s more fascinating 😊

I much prefer nature too, Dorinda! I like winter sports and Curling used to be one that i did not care for. Now i find it fairly interesting; it involves much more strategy than most people think… much like chess! 🙂
I watched it during the Olympics. Once I realized what they were doing, it had a new meaning. I still find it boring though. Nature wins, all the way!!
I LOVE that photo!
We love watching curling! And your photograph is fantastic! 😊
Beautiful!
Amazing picture and magic spiral! 🙂 Great job Tom!
Gorgeous image!
What’s not to love about tendrils like those?
