Sometimes the most beautiful things are also the most useful.

This flowering espalier—the Clematis—bursts into bloom early in spring, covering walls with delicate white flowers and a wonderfully sweet scent. Even in winter it holds on to its green presence, quietly preparing for the next season.

But it’s more than just beautiful. Plants like these play an important role in supporting life around us. Bees, bumblebees, and butterflies are drawn to the flowers, turning a simple wall into a small but thriving ecosystem. And when grown against a house, they can even help regulate temperature, reducing direct sunlight in summer and buffering cold winds in winter.

A natural layer between us and the elements.

Captured with my Canon 5DS R and Sigma 24–70 Art at 70mm, f/2.6, 1/250 sec, ISO 200.

Chatting to some friends last night and the general consensus is that the Climate Crisis is going to deepen and basically we’re screwed. This was put down not just to political will, but mainly to human ego and greed, and that the masses just don’t care about anything beyond their own nose. It was depressing in its truth. These friends were vegan/vegetarian and mostly cyclists who are fed up with being the only ones doing anything. #ClimateAware #ClimateCrisis #COP27 #TooLittleTooLate
