Ron, these are great photos. What kind of camera do you have? I broke my husband's a couple of weeks ago . . . a cute tiny Pentax Optio which, for all its cuteness, didn't take that great a picture. I'm interested what does work for others.
thanks for the virtual tour of one of my old favorite stomping grounds! i have missed that wisteria.
I've never seen red honeysuckle!
You've posted some gorgeous pictures here, thanks for sharing! The clematis is worth the wait isn't it!?
