I noticed these tiny little puple flowers sprouting on my lawn. So like any good photog, I grabbed the camera and the macro lens, got down on the ground, and snapped some picks. Turns out these tiny little flowers are actually little weeds that grow in the grass. Just goes to show you that at the right vantage point, even a weed can be beautiful.

This invasive weed is a pain in the neck (and back!) to keep under control, but it sure is pretty first thing in the morning, covered with water droplets.
I used my Little BigShot macro lens to focus in even closer.
And by the way, thanks to Crow for identifying the weed. She tells me it is "Horsetails" and spreads by sending out spores!
And I just found out how to get rid of it. I think you will find this quite interesting, Crow!
"Common horsetail, Equisetum arvense was the first vascular plant seen recovering after the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption and therein lies the answer.
Equisetum arvense is found in areas with soil with little or no nutritional content, for example, gravel pits. Simply raising the nutritional content of your soil by adding generous quantities of composted materials will, in time, get rid of your horsetail."

This weed really has this vivid yellow color on the blossoms. The desert areas of Arizona are said to be the best for bloom now, the best for maybe 50 years.

A.k.a. dead flower bouquet. The little man can't go outside without picking me a handful. I started having to put them in vases as he gets so upset when I leave them outside.
Did some experiments over the weekend, using my Canon S2IS to shoot through a reversed 50mm lens from my old SLR. Got a few interesting results, of which here is the first. Zooming in further makes it nearly impossible to focus, so most of the "keeper" shots show the heavy vignette. Nothing here to show scale, but this weed is tiny...
No post-proc except the square crop and a mild unsharp mask after resizing for upload.
spotted at the side of the road after my cycle ride tonight, a weed in the light of car headlights...
View full size for more detail, as it is a dark picture, when it's time to harvast, you have to cut away all the big leaves, so that's what's happening here..
A seed-laden weed by the banks of the Mystic Lakes, Arlington, MA. It was very cold and the wind was blowing madly today. I took a few more shots then walked straight home where it was warm and welcoming.
Happy Christmas Eve Eve!

I always thought dandelions were a nuisance and a weed but here is some interesting myths and legends about them that I found:
- If you blow a seed head, the number of seeds remaining are the number of children you will have.
- When dandelions appear in dreams, they are thought to represent happy unions.
- Legend has it that the tallest dandelion stalk that a kid could find in the early spring will show how much taller he or she will grow in the coming year.
- If you blow on a white dandelion head and every seed scatters then you are loved. If some seeds still cling to the stalk, you're out of luck.
- If you make a wish right before blowing on dandelion, your wish just might come true.
- Others claim that the number of seeds remaining are how many years you have left to live.
- Burying near the northwestern corner of your home is said to bring good weather.
Who knew??? :-)
A weed can be considered any plant that's growing where it's not wanted. A maple seedling among miniature irises is as much as weed as a dandelion growing in your lawn.
Give the maple another year or two and its biomass will equal the irises. In 10 or 15 years it will shade out the vicinity all around it as well as using up most of the available nutrients in the soil.
Planted environments change. Vegetation dynamics, succession, and interactions are all examples of a changing plant community.
Arrowhead Weed silhouetted against a softly clouded sky. Arrowhead Weed always thrills me. Almost thirty years ago I found myself canoeing through what was then the largest area of burn in Ontario; over three-hundred and fifty thousand acres of grey-black rock. The shield looked lunar not boreal. But out of the water came arrowhead, green with purple flowers, life reclaiming the devistation of an inferno.
