Wisteria Weeping





Shortly before we travelled to Turkey to explore Istanbul and the Greek-Roman ruins on the coastline either side of Antalya in Anatolia, I was talking with my neighbour whose wisteria I love and suddenly a wind picked up and the petals started to fall...

It was almost as if the wisteria was weeping and shedding the petals from its flowers by way of saying that Spring was over for another year...

The petals lay as a narrow light blue carpet along the length of stone wall.
