My garden walls are made of old brick which has lovely red and orange tones. The ivy comes fom the garden next door which belongs to a block of posh flats. Every year I have to cut the ivy back but it's a never ending battle. You can see the marks in the brick where I have pulled off previous years' growth. I think they look a bit like fossils in the brick.
Beautiful colors and textures in this image. Your brick wall is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of photo I specially like.
ReplyDeleteI like ivy too. It is overwhelming (and overwhelms) when it really gets going but spread out at this restrained stage, one is able to appreciate its beauty.
I wish I had old bricks. The ones in my garden wall are modern and weep black tar.

Lovely photo. Ivy sure is a battle to keep under control, I do like it all the same.
ReplyDeleteThe dark green ivy against your red brick wall makes a great picture, though it reminds me of an old castle in the woods.
ReplyDeleteBrick and ivy are a classic combination but I feel you pain with the pruning chores.
ReplyDeleteI love ivy and wish it grew outside here!!! I have been looking around in your wonderful blog here and am enjoying every moment!
ReplyDeleteYou have a very beautiful garden here and I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to link in with some photos...either current or past (during the dormant seasons) to Flaunt Your Flowers on Friday with me. Many absolutely gorgeous gardens participate in this party, and yours would be a welcome visit for them all to make!
I have enjoyed my visit here today...happy gardening!
