Filaments and Fronds

I believe this is a picture of some Old Man's Beard a.k.a.clematis vitalba although I'm not actually sure. But the delicate little fronds and filaments make an interesting picture when they shine in the light of a setting sun.

Natural Decor

Out for a wander one day, I came across this plant, which had twined itself around a rather hideous chain link fence and then sprouted some nice red berries, greatly improving the look of the thing. It was rather as though nature had decided to put up its own Christmas decorations, albeit rather late.

Through the Wire

When I was taking the photo, I remember feeling annoyed that I couldn't evade the ugly wire in the background, but I actually don't mind it in the finished product - it actually almost complements the shape of the veins in the flower's petals (I believe technically they're not veins but xylem. Definitely a good word to know if you want to win at Scrabble).
