flowerful Friday

On vacation recently, I photographed this plant while on an early morning walk. I'm not exactly sure what type of flower this is - it smelled like jasmine, but the blooms are different from the jasmine flower variety I am more familiar with. Amazing isn't it how such a heady and sensual scent can emanate from such a small, delicate bloom?

a star shaped bloom
an incredible lightness of being
The flowers grew on a vine that bent and soared in a meandering and appealing way. I adore how there isn't one straight line in this photo. It's all curvy and soft. Between the plant's delicate vines and the airiness of the clouds in the sky, this is a photo - to me - that encapsulates a feeling of lightness.
