Saturday Snapshot -- Morning Glories

To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post on Alyce's blog At Home With Books. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.

The morning glories open in the morning then close the rest of the day. But they're back open, pink and purple, the next morning.

My mom planted some when I was young and they went right up a telephone pole!

We have them making their way down our fence. Good for privacy!

My grandmother had morning glories on one sound of the house and four-o'clocks on the other. Such pretty flowers!
