Morning Glories revisited



In my post on Sunday, September 14, I had a picture of our Morning Glories that were in the rain and as a result the blossoms were very droopy. Except for a few that had large leaves over them that were protecting the blossoms. I guess I was being philosophical because I asked for comments on what that might mean to you. I received several responses about Morning Glories in general and how we all like them. The response was not what I expected. I had indicated that others might have a different take on the picture than I did. I was right about that. The picture reminded people of their experiences and memories of Morning Glories. I was in the "protective" theme. The beautiful full blossom was protected by the leaves. I like both interpretations. Memories - I certainly have those - which is why I grow them at all. And I really love them - another reason I grow them and I really like the responses I got that confirmed those thoughts. The protective theme is just different.



Since the picture on September 14 was of droopy blossoms, I thought I'd share a picture of how they look on a non-rainy day.





My daughter took a new picture. She apparently thought they needed to be shown in their full Glory and not droopy.





There they are for all to enjoy in their full Glory.

Morning Glories


This picture was better a few hours earlier but the point is still there, I think.
We were backing out of our driveway when I noticed this scene of our Morning Glories. They grow on our front post light. (Can't even see the post lamp when they are at their "glory") This morning it was raining though not hard. All of the top blossoms were drooping. but there were a few that were protected by the big leaves and were just as full and beautiful as if the sun were shining brightly.
Now, I could make a nice "Sunday" point here, but I sometimes think you can come to your own conclusion. Your "take" on the picture may be better than mine. So, I'd like to hear from you.
What does this picture mean to you? Is is memorable or just a nice (though droopy) picture of Morning Glories? What do you think?
