What the future holds

Wisteria takes over! It is pretty and it smells good but don't leave it unattended. The tree to the right has had wisteria growing on it for as long as I can remember. This is the first year that I noticed the tree next to it also has it climbing up. Before too long the two trees will look the same.

Cristina,
I've never seen a wisteria growing on a tree so tall. I like the colors palette and the comp. :toast:

I like the comp a lot Christina. I might darken the greenery some to better emphasize the tree. Very well seen and composed.

I wish it would grow here in Colorado. I love this stuff. Beautiful shot.

Cristina:
My wife loves Wisteria but we have never seen this prolific growth. A very difficult capture and you have done admirably.

Never have I seen anything like that! Hard to think of such a pretty plant becoming a "pest" and overgrowing everything in sight.
