Remembering Dorian Gray ...

Taken for this week's Sunday Challenge for which we were told: "an easy one ... do what you like this week as long as there is a fence in your shot".

Mine was taken whilst out cycling around town, something I try to do at least 3 times a week, and is of some clematis I spotted spilling over and growing through someone's back fence.

I did also look out a few from the archives that I've never got around to uploading, but in the end this one won me over.

Hit z to view large and see if it wins you over too!

In a month there will be purple stars on the clematis, and year after year the green night of its leaves will hold its purple stars. But we never get back our youth.

Looks like you've been sneaking round the back of my garden fence you've managed to bring out the colour well too.

And 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' is an excellent read
