The Great crested grebes at Westhay are well ahead of the game... !!
Have a look at this short 'head shaker' dance video...
This intense green weed really attracted me to this rock shelf. Apparently it is very seasonal and you only get it at spring.
Took this shot at around 5:45am, sun wasn't up yet. Exposure times were around the 2 min mark (this is a composite of two exposures (not HDR).

Pompom weed is a perennial, erect herb up to 1.5 m high. The stems and leaves are covered with rough, bristly hairs. Leaves are scattered along the length of the stem but clustered at the base to form a rosette. The plant has a short woody rootstock that ends in thick tuber-like perennial roots. In spring, shoots arise from, and in autumn die back to, the rootstock. The showy pink flowerheads (inflorescences) are produced in dense clusters at the ends of the aerial stems, and look like bright-pink powderpuffs.
Common Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) on a species-rich road verge (A6), Taddington Dale, Peak District, Derbyshire.
A very common 'weed' of neglected dry grasslands, roadsides and waste land.
See my other Ragwort photos.
This weed grew into the wheel well of an abandoned Chevrolet truck, while casting a shadow on the fender
Tribute to the weed:
You are just a weed
I did not sow your seed
And yet, here you are
Flourishing wide and far
I bend down to pluck out a tiny nuisance
Only to see your hidden beauty and 'flor essence'.
Just back from the dentist I can’t talk yet so I shall write. Sitting in the waiting room listening to a poor little girl cry out on each extraction, apparently she had 4 out, made me very uneasy. My turn and the dentist give me the speech if that little girl could manage 4, you can handle 1, too which I replied, I’ve had this tooth for sixty odd years and I’ve got kind of attached to it. Anyway it’s now out and I’ve got another couple of hours before I can feel my right side of my face again. Today’s photo is from my November trip to the Lakes, I just love the contrast in colours with the blue slate and the weedy young sycamore leaves. I know I should be calling a tree a weed, a trees a tree, right. However the sycamore is not one of my favourite trees, baring our beautiful emblem taken from us, I find sycamores like rhododendron intrusive of our woodland, stealing the space and the light from our native species, I’d sooner see birch, beech, scotch pine and oak, much more photogenic.
The weed sprayer train, CP 2WCM-7, continues their duties southbound on the C&M sub as they approach the Amtrak depot in Sturtevant with foreign power leading the way.

Not sure what kind of plant this is, but it was begging for a portrait among some more colorful wildflowers. Undeniable.

This weekend I did the autumn weeding. Next year, the entire middle area of the right bank on the left side of this photo will be covered in cosmos.
この週末は秋の草刈りをしました。来年はこの写真の左手、右岸の中段全域をコスモス畑にする予定です。

A most interesting weed, in that if the stems and leaves are crushed, the juices inside help relieve poison ivy and bug bites. Almost always you see the two (poison ivy and jewel weed) growing near each other...coincidence?? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....
Don't know what this is. It was about four feet tall and apparently left over from last year.

It was raining today. It made for some interesting photos. This weed almost looks like a caterpillar, at lest to me. The water drops on it were amazing. It was hard not to flick them off when trying to get the photo cause the wind was blowing and I thought at any moment the seed pod was going to hit my camera lens and POOF it would be all gone. But I got it in time. HAPPY!
