Feeding Frenzy
Greetings, everyone! I’ve been out of the picture for a while, but wanted to drop in to let you know I miss visiting you all, and that I appreciated very much the comments you left for me on my last few posts (to which–forgive me–I still haven’t had a chance to reply).
I stopped over to see my Clematis today. It is looking rather ragged, all tangled and snow drenched. At this time of year, it often reminds me of a frothy sea roiling with ravenous alien, fish-like creatures that slither and squirm to suck for sustenance. Which one will make off with the kill?

This is lovely. Glad to see you back.

Thank you, Carissa. I’m not sure if I’m back or not… 🙂 I just can’t seem to keep up!! But something compels me to keep trying. Thank you for dropping in. I appreciate it.

I started paying closer attention to the wild clematis this year. I never knew they hung onto their seeds for so long.

They are fascinating to watch. They transform in such interesting ways. They’re very hardy, too: I am amazed at what they endure.

To me it also looked like a Hermit Club who lost a hermit shell 🙂

Ha ha! I like that. Very interesting, Yoshi-sensei. 🙂

Perfectly titled. It does look like a feeding frenzy! Some kind of creatures on ice. I’m developing the feared Clematis Phobia…

The feeding frenzies in the Clematis can be even more dramatic in black and white. It’s fun to play around with the processing with these creatures. I don’t even really see Clematis at all, I don’t think. The vine has become quite another thing all together in my head. 🙂

Great to see you back, Melanie! And your alien dancing plants.

Thanks, Richard! Yes, I love my alien plants. 🙂

On the other hand, maybe they’re doing a very hopeful, premature maypole dance…

Time is indeed a scarce commodity as I know all too well 😦 This is lovely.
