I’m not in the habit of taking this kind of image, but when I saw this Honeysuckle flower I couldn’t resist. I feel a bit silly admitting to this, but I have a soft spot for these plants.Â
When I was a young boy we had a very large Honeysuckle plant right by our front door. It was huge, climbing right up the side of our porch. In the summer months you couldn’t miss it, not only because of the distinctive pink and yellow colour but because of the sweet smell. Every time I smell a Honeysuckle bush or see one, it instantly takes me back to a time when I didn’t have to worry about mortgages, life insurance or any of the stresses that come with life.
I took the picture from a distance, but using the close-up mode. I also used a filter (sorry, not sure which one!) and cropped it slightly to centralise the image.
I am linking this image up to One Dad 3 Girls My Sunday Photo Linky. Do have a look at some of the other blogs and check out some great photography.

Beautiful piccy. I love flowers ans in fact this very afternoon if the rain goes away I’m due to go to the Botanical Gardens. We have a family pass so hopefully will see lots of weird and wonderful things! xxx
Lovely photo. It’s amazing how these things can trigger such strong memories. We had honeysuckle growing all over the garage of our old house. I miss it now and I also regret never photographing it.
Fab photo, so clear! It’s lovely when something reminds us of our childhood… bittersweet I always think x
Beautiful shot – love the vibrancy of the colours.
Love the mix of colours, the green seems the most vibrant in the background x

You’ve managed to capture the honeysuckle beautifully.

That’s really beautiful. For some reason, flowers like this always remind me Alice in Wonderland
Love honeysuckle, and that is a really beautiful photo. Jasmine and lavender have that memory effect on me 🙂
