I noticed the morning glories were blooming this evening. I think they got confused because it’s been cloudy, cold, and dark all day. The temperature stayed in the 40s F, that’s single-digits in C. The sunflowers stood in for the sun on this dark and dreary day.
Morning glory and clover seeds, with a sunflower in the bokeh.
Great photos, Timothy, the 40s? Yikes.
Thanks, John.
Beautiful images caught in the gloom of the evening. (I get a kick out of the morning glories. Here in corn country they are considered a noxious weed. They will choke out corn and beans and totally bind up a corn head on the combine. You best just drive around a patch of morning glories in your field.)
They are kind of pesky out here, but they are gone with the slightest hint of frost. Thanks, Maj & Sher.
Those are just beautiful, love the little purple trumpet!
They are cute little trumpets. Thanks, Holly.
So beautiful, I guess the cold weather will soon chase them away.
Beautiful..I too have morning glory in my balcony.
Thanks, Dr Namrata. They are pretty while they last.
Yes and they fade away too soon.
You’re welcome 😊
I checked out your blog. You’ve been blogging for a long time.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Yes, I started blogging in October 2019.
I misread. I thought you had been blogging and freelancing for a decade, but it’s your freelancing you’ve done for the past ten years. That’s great.
Not a problem. Yes I was freelancing for a decade but last year I started blogging.
Beauteous!
Thanks, Cindy.
Love the beautiful morning glories and sunflowers in the late summer sun. Thanks for sharing them with us Tim.
Thanks, Juanita.
Beautiful flowers, especiallly the sunflowers make me happy 🙂
Thanks, Harry.
Stunning. I needed this today. I’ve always loved your flower shots. Thanks.
Thanks, Juliette.
So lovely. Now I miss my morning glories from my first house and my sunflowers from m second. So many plants to think about for this new place.
Thanks, Dale.
Lovely. I do love sunflowers.
Thanks, Shehanne.
Ya know how you were sayin’ Welsh uses too many words? Here’s a good example: “Os gwelwch chi’n dda” = “Please.”
From your lovely photos, it doesn’t look dark and gloomy at all! Here, everything is tinted with an orange glow from all the fires.
It’s the sunflowers shining. It’s all fiery where you are. Thanks, Tiffany.
We’re having gloom and dreary weather too, plus dense fog.
Side note: It seems the new Windows security update and WP are incompatible … again. Cannot *like* posts, comments and cannot receive notifications.
Seems to be common with updates these days. To many updates for everyone to keep up with. Thanks, David.
Beautifull!
Thanks, Inchchock.
Wonderful flower photos, Timothy. It is great that the morning glories decided to open up even on a dark day, and that you were there to witness it.
Thanks, Jet. They seemed to be confused.
I love morning glories, but have to grow them behind deer fence. The deer love them too. I love the yellow and blue together in those photos.
Hi Lavinia. I’ve heard dear with venture down into the valley on occasion, they usually stay in the foot hills. It’s more common, but still rare, for bear and cougars to venture into the valley.
That is so interesting! You might be right about the Morning Glories being confused because of the darkness.
I wonder how the plants in California… the entire west coast are reacting?
Plants don’t react well to smoke a fire. Like the rest of us. Thanks, Resa.
