Clematis

Once a year, the Clematis Montana on the neighbor's fence.   Tweaked a bit.    Thinking about blipper Molly. she was a well loved blipper who died suddenly about this time of year....we had had a "conversation" about this flower here and in Tuscany.   It's been a long time..
Off to see a new production of Carmen at Seattle Opera tonight...
