Joel Dinda's photos with the keyword: climbing

Oak Park, Grand Ledge, Michigan, from the Ledges Trail across the river. Another summer photo of a place I've photographed before , again looking quite different (and far greener) with the trees all leafed out. Better LARGE , methinks. Whatever the season, that rock wall attracts climbers. Note the guy in red, off to the right....

Among my very first plantings, twenty-some years ago, were bluish climbing roses--"Blue Angel," purchased from Spring Hill--which I planted next to the garage. Originally there were three plants, and trellises to match; later I replaced the trellises with a small split-rail fence. Two of the plants died after a few summers (well, winters, more likely; they were pretty exposed to the weather). The third didn't die, but the plant's no longer the Blue Angel varietal. Instead we have these simple red flowers that surely were the native flower of the rootstock. Not a bad trade, really. All in all, I prefer these guys.
