The Most Melancholy Wisteria Vine in the Whole World

Sounds like a novel by Carson McCullers. Or maybe Flannery O'Connor. What do you guys think?

I love your composition, especially how the two tall evergreens intersect the diagonal power lines. I thought surely Judy would beat me to this observation. ;o); March 25, 2011 at 8:05 AM

Diana said...: I drive by this every time I venture down to South Pasadena and I love it! I can't really think of it as melancholy, although the sky in your photo does promote that mood. But when this vine is in full glorious flower against that Tuscan wall, it's about the most beautiful thing around!; March 25, 2011 at 1:53 PM

There's a house with a beautiful wisteria in the Oak Lawn area towards the end of the street...; March 27, 2011 at 9:34 PM
