A weed growing fast and tall along a lane between houses. The tinny background is a plain corrugated iron fence.
"I spent all afternoon watching and photographing this Egret.
At first I thought is fishing technic was to just walk through the water and flush a fish.... far from the truth.
Working a patch of underwater weed this egret would then fly off only to return when the scared fish came out from hiding.
A quick flight into the area and the dagger like beak secured the prize a fine roach... no accident did it again for an encore !!! :-)
A wonderful afternoon with an amazing bird taking centre stage! "

A good ole South Georgia weed - I was going for Bahia grass, but I think this is something a little different.

Such a great variety of colors and contrasts in the gardens here. Some colors are familiar and some a like a blend of different colors. Enjoy the Spring season and the warmth of the Sun. The rains here have been pretty heavy and it shows in the grasses, shrubs and all the colorful flowers. Cameras busy daily accumulating the richness that lies before us. Savor the “Colors In Your Garden” as they are truly a gift. After spending time weeding gardens here I like you should “Was your🙏’s Thanks for viewing my work...
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.
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.
My favourite weed.
The sky is cloudy and it's raining cats and dogs.
And the whole lawn is full of miniature suns ☀️☀️☀️🍓🍓🍓☀️☀️☀️
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.
The drivers behind me (I got out of the car) kept peering to see if there was something IN the weeds. :-)
