Your help is always appreciated.

Have a great week !

Type of potato flowers. This one is very tiny.

Probably Solanum Nigrum (wiki)

I was amazed to learn potatoes, eggplants, tomatos are all included in this Solanum family and flowers are all very similar.

* I like birds but this is not a bird

Some beautiful wildflowers (aka Weeds) decorate a fence post. I called it a Weed Fence but I don't think it can stop the wildflowers from growing on either side of the fence!

Happy Fence Friday!

These grow on the side of the road, one year I dug some out and planted them in my flower garden. A BIG mistake as they soon takeover the whole garden.

A photograph of the end of season for these types of weed plants.

A little weed in a crack between the asphalt and concrete at the entrance of a city carpark. There's a trace of green, so it's still hanging on.

Also know as Fire Weed by ranchers as it is toxic to livestock.

Het hoogovencomplex werd in 1902 door de "Rheinische Stahlwerke zu Meiderich bei Ruhrort" gebouwd, en werd later overgenomen door de Thyssen-groep. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog raakte het zwaar beschadigd, maar het werd in de jaren 50 weer opgebouwd. In 1985 waren de hoogovens van het complex te klein geworden om nog rendabel te zijn, en werd het complex gesloten. Tussen 1991 en 2002 werd het terrein als openbaar park ingericht.

Dandelion

I went to the park to take flower pictures but it was closed. So, I photographed this weed from my yard.

Formosa Lily Lilium formosanum.

I pull the flower heads off whenever I see them but I took a photo of this one first.

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.

thug life

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.

Been trying to catch this again this year in vain. This shot taken last year as i witnessed this once but as it happened at close range i just managed to get a few quick shots through a gap in the reeds

Great crested grebes at Westhay

I thought I'd take a little break from my Madagascar photos to show 3 photos from yesterday of Great Crested Grebes performing their 'weed dance'.

While the light was awful and shortly after these photos were taken it started to rain heavily, I'm still happy that these birds have returned and I'll look forward to watching them over the next few months from building their nest to raising their chicks.
