"pretty girl" and showing someone smoking is an oxymoron

According to this site http://www.fernlea.com/vines/spiderplant.html the spider plant is classified as a vine. So I'd say this is on topic.

It is a nice photo. Aside from the blown highlights (which doesn't really bug me in this shot anyway) it gives a nice take on the vine subject while remaining subtle and quaint. Good work!

Hanging vines
avatar Angloaussiekiwi

Wisteria sinensis (Chinese Wisteria) is a woody, deciduous, perennial climbing vine in the genus Wisteria, native to China in the provinces of Guangxi, Guizhou, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Shaanxi, and Yunnan. While this plant is a climbing vine, it can be trained into a tree-like shape, usually with a wavy trunk and a flattened top.

This is not a vine. This is the common house plant called the Spider Plant. Which also grows very well outdoors in frost free areas.Spider plants are botanically known as Chlorophytum comosum. What you see are not vines they are called runners.

As a photo i agree with friiskiwi about the highlights. But knowing this plant well and knowing it has a wild and woolly growing habit i think you have captured the essence of this plant very well.

A much prettier photo, Highlights a little blown. I would crop out the bottom flowers as they are a little soft and they are too light, it would also make for a more balanced image IMO.

It is pretty though, and I love the satellite dishes on what looks like an old barn. The place looks like it would be a dream for a photographer.

I agree, not a lonely, more like impatient. Just because someone is in a photo alone doesn't mean they are portraying that emotion. A single item or person doesn't always mean loneliness.

Can I Come In?

dem90 says:

I agree, the feeling I get is emptiness and loss, not alone. Grieving isn't loneliness unless you grieve alone. And I am sorry for your loss. I lost both of my Grandfathers within months of each other and a couple of days ago I just lost my Great Aunt, whom we are burying soon, so I understand what it's like to look for someone, and realize they aren't there anymore, and you won't get to hug them, kiss them, or laugh with them anymore.
