Not The Best For the Tree, But Made an Interesting Display

Virginia creeper is a five-leaved vine that quickly grows up trees. The plant thrives most anywhere and can be damaging to trees. I cut them when they attempt to establish on any of my trees.

Today I found a Virginia creeper climbing a tree in a wild area. Rather than look at it with frustration, I studied it as it appeared as a work of art on the trunk of the tree in the rain.
