I finally decided this thing in the front garden is really a weed. Then I found out what kind of weed:
The Our Daily Challenge group has chosen Unexpected growth as today's topic.
Not really unexpected but rather unwanted.
As I was weeding our lawn and borders I encountered this thorny weed.
I'm not sure what is... Maybe a thistle?

WEED is a combination of two structures--a concrete tunnel with writing (WEED) and a structure in which one half had been torn down. IBoth shots were taken with a film era 28-200mm Vivtar lens on an Olympus E500. I liked the two tone effect and with Corel I combined them and transfered them to enamel. I also used Exposure 2 for a simulated film effect.
While photographing beautiful coastlines, wonderful rock formations, and nature's abundance in general, I came across this lonely weed. Perhaps is "just" a weed, but I found it to be perfect!

An entry for the challenge group 52 in 2014, #17 A Weed
I thought about trying something a bit more adventurous for this topic, so I pulled up a weed from our the gravel area outside our conservatory and left it on a paving slab to wither a bit. Over a week later it had shown no signs of wilting, so I gave up and resorted to this - it seems that the weeds in our garden are doing everything they can this year to thwart my aims :-((
I have no idea what this little plant is, but it is obviously wind delivered as there is weed suppressant membrane under the gravel, what I do know is that it is a pain getting on your hands and knees to remove them - we are a chemical free garden in case you wondered why I don't just spray them.
Well, that is what I was doing when I remembered I needed a jumping pic. So here I am. Weeding. And apparently very badly from the very blurry weed in the forefront of this shot.
