I have been doing house projects today, some interior painting which has been quite fun. We had some doors repaired a good while ago and I never got around to painting the repairs until today. Very satisfying.

Took a break and went for a walk around the neighborhood and came across this fantastical looking vine wrapping itself around a utility pole. I have no idea what it is but just love the color and shape of it.

Best viewed in large. I've also put a close up of the flowers/buds/seed heads on Flickr. If anyone can identify it I'd be curious to know what it is.
