Frannie Bombs the Flower Shoot

I was trying so hard to photograph this Wandering Jew flowering on the wall ledge between my front and back yard, but Frannie kept jumping up to interfere.  Four times, she jumped up on the ledge and stuck her face between me and the plants I was trying to photograph, even following me into the dread back yard, where she drew the unfriendly attention of Morrie and Diego.  The back yard is a cat-free area, or so it is decreed to be by the dogs, so when she followed me back and jumped down from the wall, I had to rescue her.  Still again, she strayed into their turf, this time remaining on the wall.  This is the story, in photos.  Please click on the first photo to see the whole slide series enlarged.

Purple Heart: Flower of the Day, Sep 1, 2017


This tradescantia vine, also known as Wandering Jew or Purple Heart, is one of my favorites. Regrettably,  I haven’t captured it too well, but I had to stop the car and take this shot from the window and an impatient driver was honking his horn behind me.  Even he has to suffer for art.  Like it or not.
