Captured in a single image in the quarry near my home, was the representation of birth, life and death.
In this case the flower happens to be a weed, and a very successful one at that in these parts. A further image is provided subsequently.
These particular specimens were in the process of strangling a thicket of brambles bearing their own fruit. In that regard, much better to tackle the bindweed than the nettle or thistle when out blackberrying.
Now it is off to deepest North Cork for a spot of vegetable plundering with The Sage. 🍀

Bindweed is indeed a pretty devil! But I confess I mostly kept going back to look at the enticing berries!!!

The berries were just poured onto my cereal this morning for a tasty start to the day 😃

Stunning pics MM. The flower on the bindweed is lovely – but the plant itself is a horror. We have it at our place sadly .. another summer task for me, endeavouring to remove it, unsuccessfully. 🙂
