Woodward Park
this vine is growing up a telephone utility pole along Oak Street. high up in the air its pods have opened, letting the seeds fall where they may.

the field hosts many cauls, almost all of them on single stem plants. for the sake of variety, this is on one with branches.
Woodward Park
