While walking down the wooded paths in our neighborhood, there is one vigorous weed that produces quite unusual flowers. I've only found it in that one location, so often I only get a few photographs each year. Friends had called it nightshade, so I mistakenly thought it might be a poisonous plant. Fortunately this is Bittersweet Nightshade. The flowers aren't poisonous, yet the berries are. There's the good news and the bad news. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_dulcamara
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these."

There are times that flowers are quite lovely without petals. This plant had finished blooming, yet the structures in the center of the flower were quite interesting. It just proves that things can still be appealing as they age. ;)
"Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up."...Allen Klein
I chose a bit of macro again for this evening as time and inclination was short.
Super Tak 135mm on the Sony, 49mm to 49mm connector and the helios 44-2 reversed on the end of that.
This is a stack of about 11 images layered in ps.
I could probably do with more shots but I quite like the fall off here.
Picking up my 100mm macro brings back some of the love especially with flowers.

Earthbound fireworks are the best. I love explosions of color. Many thanks to my neighbors that plant incredible flowers.
Walking down the sidewalk, I spotted this dried specimen of a flower still standing tall between cracks in the pavement. In honor of all brave flowers, I salute you, little dude.
