Love the framing of this and the background colors make the white of the buds so soft and beautiful.

[Alice Burghart]

Stunning detail. I'm not sure, but it may be a clematis of some sort.

[Jan K]

So pretty and I agree with @therubysusan - a clematis of some kind.

@jankoos @libertylady @therubysusan @smellychelli @swilde @riverlandphotos @mzzhope

I am surprised that you say clematis because if it is ....it grows wild all over the trees @bazman any ideas? I thought perhaps something to do with all the cottonwood trees?

Thanks you guys!! :)

[TheRubySusan]

The clematis I know as clematis paniculata - Autumn clematis, it blooms here in the fall (obviously!) and is often fragrant, with a small,whie, cross-shaped flower - it's very drought tolerant and vigourous, it may be considered an invasive weed in some areas. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it thriing, covering trees to the point of threatening to choke them out in Wyoming after a drought that was in at least its second year. Sorry abiout spelling, my eyelids are heavy.

@nanderson @therubysusan - yes - it could be clematis - I have one I had to pull out because it was too invasive - and Nancy - yes - in this area. Of course it could be something else, too. Will be a treat to see when it leafs out.

I agree with the others, that this looks like clematis. I did not know that it grows wild in other parts of the country, though...

[Baznman]

Oh, nice shot, too!

[Nancy]

@baznman Thanks...I didn't know it grew wild like that! appreciate the nice words too!
