As seen through my bathroom window. This grapevine, according to my neighbor, is more than 50 years old.
This was taken on the morning of the first snow. What's amazing is that the vine has lost all its leaves a long time ago, except for this very long, young branch ... probably didn't receive the information yet. Well, at least at the time - a few days later, all the leaves were gone.
This speaks to me of transitions, the leaves never even got to change from green to yellow and its already snowing. it evokes in me a sense of questioning what might have been.
What brave leaves they are! I really like the contrast of leaves and snow laden twigs.
Eta, This reminds me of a story I read in which a terminally ill man vowed to his love that he would hang on till the last leaves on a vine outside his window fell. She glued a couple on.
