jasmine.

One of several cuttings I took in Marin from a deciduous jasmine bush. It goes dormant every winter, but smells good now in the evenings and at night.

That's a lovely one - I'm very fond of sunlit greens.

Thanks. I took several of it. There was a breeze, and I had to wait squatting and leaning against the wall until the motion stopped. The big tree above was also moving around and in this one provided that dark diagonal shadow which brought out the jasmine very nicely. I like how the stems go from brighter to darker and even seem to disappear while becoming the same value as the background. The other pics were all OK, but this one I thought had the best lighting and best composition (although I did crop slightly on the sides). Waiting is important, for lots of reasons.
