Puffy Clouds on a Clear October Day

I was out driving yesterday and saw this huge puffy cloud of spent clematis tumbling over this fence and stopped to take a picture. (Or two....) Isn't it funny, and kind of amazing?

Its strange, but I don't remember being as taken with the clematis blooms here as I am with their spent heads.


They remind me of little wigs. Or jellyfish. Or snow. Or spiders- like in Charlotte's Web- when Charlotte's children spin themselves parachutes and go sailing away to the unknown, they look like they are just ready to launch.

What do you think?
