Kudzu

Standing in the Kudzu...

Scroll down to see the three (3) photos I posted...

Today, I stood in a field overcome with the most beautiful vine (with Grape Kool-aid smelling flowers) and took a number of pictures.

The weather and lighting were perfect, and I love the vine!

The ground, and everything sticking up out of the ground, was covered to the point of obscuring all - leaving interesting kudzu-sculptures. It was so beautiful, and the smell so rich.

As I turned to go, I wondered if I would be able to walk away; perhaps I had stood so long in one place the fast-growing vine had grown around my feet and legs and I would not be able to move. Perhaps I, too, would turn into a kudzu-shaped sculpture!

Kudzu grows approximately a foot a day, or 60 feet per growing season, which is pretty amazing! And it can completely take over a telephone pole, barn, house, or old car, in that growing season.

So, enjoy the view but don't stand too long in one place - at least, not near the Kudzu!!

The purple, grape Kool-aid smelling Kudzu flower,

like an upside down cluster of grapes;

so pretty!!

A field of Kudzu,

growing wild;

my heart rejoices at God's handiwork!

Looking down the road,

with the Kudzu field off to the right;

see some of the sculptures?

Amazing Kudzu - captured with my amazing camera!!
