Morning Glory

It's amazing how nature can take over a small urban space given half the chance.

 This is just a part of the forest that invaded (with just a bit of coaxing) my mid-town balcony every summer.

My only requirements when apartment hunting for the first time in 25 years were "south-facing and must have a balcony".  

 I wanted a heated parking space as well.  But's that's a whole 'nother topic.
