in AtaÅŸehir, Istanbul.
I am reliably told that this isn't a weed at all, but a valued plant called
Alchemilla Mollis....what a mouthful :-O
These are just a tiny little weed flower... and I mean Tiny! Probably each flower would measure no more than a quarter of an inch. A teeny , tiny little weed, but absolutely beautiful all the same. Just takes a little more looking to actually see it! :-)
I almost mowed this pretty little thing. Anyone out there know what this flower is? Please let me know and I’ll change the title.

We've had a very wet and hot summer and everything has been growing like crazy, including the weeds. Usually passed over as nothing more than a problem, I took a closer look and put together a little series of photos that hopefully show their prettier side.
This weeds shadow was cast on this flagstone rock and the light was coming in on one side of it. There you go with my artsy side..;-) It caught my eye and also reminded me of plant fossils found in rocks..In this case I guess a shadow fossil. ;-)

This is a smaller variant of Breton's painting "The Weeders" of 1860 (Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska), which was widely admired at the Salon of 1861 and the 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Breton wrote in his autobiography that one evening in the fields near his native village of Courrières in northern France he had come across this twilight scene of peasants pulling up "thistles and weeds . . . their faces haloed by the pink transparency of their violet hoods, as if to venerate a fecundating star." It had presented itself to him as a "finished picture," completed even as far as "the breadth of the lines, intensity of the effect, character, richness and simplicity."
We are all reaching for something.
Unless of course we've given up.
Plants at least are clear about what they need to reach for.
Sunlight.
If only human life could be so simple.
This is prostrate spurge (Euphorbia maculata) - a common weed native to North America. It likes pebble pathways, as that's where I've primarily noticed them. Thanks to botanist John (Just Back) for helping with the ID. View large for detail.
Wouldn't you just love to try to put together a 1,000 piece puzzle of this image? ;-)
Unfortunately, all in Nature must grow old - see 1st comment below.

From the meet at Celery Farms in Allendale, NJ this afternoon where it didn't feel as cold out as I thought it would.
A newcomer to Michigan in 1909 (when first discovered), Hoary Alyssum (Berteroa incana) has now colonized the entire state.
