Morning glories linger longer

I snapped this morning glory at about 5pm tonight. It was still in bloom, but there is a translucency about the petals. Compare it with its July counterpart.

This is for Square September; my no.3; head over to Ambling Camera's blip to find out more or join in.

I forgot to blip earlier because we got discussing potential half-term breaks over breakfast; then there was work; then there was more work; then it was time to sit down to have a cuppa before Pointless and check out the blipportunities before the evening light disappeared.

The end of week 1 of the school term.Incidentally, this term in 15 weeks long. Today I made the mistake of offering a child a red chair instead of a blue chair. He can't speak, so it took me all of five minutes to work out why he didn't want to use it. In a similar but unrelated incident, Bomble is refusing point blank to eat the food he loved only last week! It doesn't matter how fresh it is; he just turns away. He can't speak either.
