Greetings and a happy Sunday to all...

My friend, Tricia’s house, in Widcombe, Bath, taken last autumn. The Virginia Creeper vines on the house were really red, and added such zest to this venerable old house,a real English classic.

I liked the effect of the vines covering the whole house. Not sure it is a great idea for the stucco, as the tendrils and rootlets grow so fast and get into the tiniest nook and cranny and thus could crack the stucco and also let in water.

This is a lovely old house, full of character, with lots of nooks and crannies, so the vines and ivy are very fitting. The walls of the house are really thick with leaded pane windows.In the WS I show a shot of both.
The house is on the National Registry so any changes and improvements are time consuming and costly.

This image was taken on my trusty, and now retired Pentax. For some reason the image was really washed out and unusable. I ran it through Lightroom and what a difference. Great program for resurrecting shots.

Hi Joni,
I think you have captured the essence of autumn and the variance of colours is lovely. Well done and tfs.

Regards
Jon

Hi Joni. Love your post of the glorious autumn with colorful creepers on the well. Very good perspective and very well done. Nice framing and TFS. Regards. Jusni

Hello Joni,

You have captured ALL the colours!
There is a lovely mix of reds, oranges, yellows and green! The ivy, as an evergreen, will never take an autumn's mantle.
I like your angled view, leading us nicely into the shot and up the steps.
The portrait style works well and allows us the privilege of seeing from door to chimney.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Joni,
The combinations of the various textures, shapes and colors in this image both are very pleasing and do well describe and convey the sense and feeling of Autumn.
Good composition and good work.

hi Joni

Is it always a case of the garden lover for this kind of house owner? Judging from the fence, we can see the owner must have a garden full of plants and flowers as natural decoration. Nice view.

tfs, bill

Hello,

Quelle façade, ce lierre est amngigique, il prend vraiment des couleurs fantastiques en autonme, très benau cadrage.

Bravo et amitié

Hi Joni,
The Virginia Creeper vines on the wall provide a good way of emphasizing fall colors and texture. I do like the framing of the wall, so engaging to see ageing characters and worn look of the house. My compliments.. Danilo

Hello Joni
Vines on stone are always a hit...and it this case, the fiery colors depict a romantic scenery enhanced by the fallen leaves on side of street and stairway.
I see a studied setup and perfect verticals.
Best regards.
