Ensnared

A wall creeper for eye-candy. Makes excellent eye-candy too.

And then the creeper breaks surface, sends roots digging for support, collects water. Water explores porous brick, discovers the other side, makes itself a storehouse. Old friend Mr. Fungus comes to visit and stays to found a colony. The party is running in full swing.

In a few years, the wall will be destroyed by its own decoration.

A innocent piece of flora
A thing of beauty to the eye
Bursting with fractal elegance
Yet quietly probing defences
Seeing a weakness, she strikes
Burrowing deep into the very
Being that gave her support
And spreads her roots deep and wide
It is but a matter of time
As a new eco-system thrives
In the weakness that is found
The strong will soon grow weak
And the lowly creeper, with her scheming friends
Will soon inherit the earth

      Will you be participating if this time's f2p2? I'd be honoured if you - you had lovely submissions last two times. :-)
      
      Jace, I loved that photo... it seems to tell so many different stories. Wonderful.

        funny you asked. your topic this time has forced me to grab my camera and fire a few rolls. i searched my portfolio, and couldn't come up with anything that did justice to the theme. Look for a response within the week. (i'm trying to stay true to my analog roots i.e film. so, have to shoot, process, review with the loupe and then scan and upload.)

        I'm adding you to my LJ if that's alright.

        Ouch, I feel *so* out-of-place here! It's like I just busted in accidentally into the local Museum of Fine Arts and am wondering what the heck I am doing in there ...
        
        If there's any other kind souls who also feel "left out" in this whole art/photography/f2p2/leetness thing, please do drop a comment ;)

        Minnie, thanks.
        
        I'm unable to shoot for F2P2; I can't produce on demand. But I'll try next round.
