All kids know this flower


When I was a kid, honeysuckle was without a doubt my favorite summertime smell…and taste. Still is. Today, when I was out with my camera, I spotted some new honeysuckle growth along the Smith River (a part of the Dan River Basin). I wanted to pick some of the flowers, and break off the end and suck out the honey like I always do, but the plants were located in the middle of a large patch of poison ivy, and that is NOT a favorite of mine. So, I just took a photo. Remember the taste? Honeysuckle that is, not the poison ivy.
