virginia creeper

i think that is what this is, if google lens has to be believed.

i heard a male cardinal calling his sweetie from behind this foliage and i was so mesmerized that they were playing their game so low when there were trees along the road. but my iphone was kind of idling and took a while for the camera to come on and the darn birds had gone. story of my life.

it was 23 degrees when i went for my walk this morning and it wasn't near eight o'clock yet. so i walked on the east side of don mills so that i'd be in the shade of the trees. made a lot of difference!

for week 25 of peter forsgard's 52 assignments the assignment is 'green'. you can't get any greener than this!

What a lush invasion of green!

[Dione Giorgio]

Be! And so lush. Great shot and details.

very definitely green - love the textures from the different sized leaves

[Kathy A]

Lovely green, lovely shapes

Nice job of filling the frame with the creeper. The cardinals probably have a nest in that jumble.

Definitely Virginia creeper. We have tons of it here and it’s almost invasive. Your photo shows all the lovely shapes and sizes in beautiful detail. Smart of you to walk on the shady side of the street.

Lovely green foliage.

Looks like Virginia Creeper to me too. If you're allergic to poison ivy be careful around this plant. I've read it can cause rash on some people.

A lovely find and capture with the shaped leaves and blossom still in
green bud.
