A good ole South Georgia weed - I was going for Bahia grass, but I think this is something a little different.
HMM
Backlit shot on some weeds with an unexpected visitor in the frame, the wasp wasn't supposed to be there, but without it the picture might have had a different attractiveness.
A HABSCO International, Inc. weed sprayer rumbles through Union Pacific's Lakota Yard in Orem, Utah on a warm May 1, 1990 afternoon. The modified locomotive was born Chicago Burlington & Quincy GP7 No. 245 in Nov. 1952. HABSCO encountered financial difficulties and sold the company to DeAngelo Brothers, Inc. in 1997. Many thanks to Mark Hemphill for his help with the caption.
I've been learning about so many beautiful flowers around the property that are actually weeds.... this image shows the buds, the flowers... it's just so neat!!!!
This Osprey dove into the same pond where a Great Blue Heron briefly tangled up in the weed (www.flickr.com/photos/60250038@N02/35970489976/in/photost...). As it came out of water with a goldfish and clump of weed the Osprey had hard time gaining altitude. Eventually he managed to fly away with this long trail of weed. Given how often they nest on hydro pole I was worried of it getting an electrical shock from the dangling weed touching live wires. Hoped it made it safely home. Once the weeds come out in July, the Ospreys stop visiting this particular pond. Richmond Hill, Ontario.
In the Spring, I enjoy just walking the yard and snapping shots of all the new life. :) Of course, I could go to the trouble of setting up a tripod for a technically better shot, but that's not the point. For me, it's more about the enjoyment of the moment of discovery.
