taken while out walking. Pretty enough to comment on but unsure if it is native or desirable in our fields. Info welcomed.
je ziet hem denken: ik ben onkruid, niets te zien hier.

No wingtips were harmed for making this photograph ;-)
With high UV levels here at the moment the weed and algae is doing well in our waters right now, Bosham Harbour is full of it at high tide , I`ll be there again next Saturday evening with high hopes of a reasonable sky as the sun goes down.
This is just a weed,a dandelion I think, but I like the perfect round and the little bud above the flower. Processed with Affinity photo so very similar to Photoshop with a raw editor and layers. I am thinking about changing if Adobe put up their subscription
A bright red bit of rubbish with a weed growing out of a crack in the footpath on the side of Port Road, Hindmarsh.
Something different, not sure if I like it or not but if you don't try new stuff, you don't grow. Honest opinions are always welcome.
The little Princess Tornado (Granddaughter) and I were out wandering the field and she had to stop and pet the neighbor's horse, Finnigan. I just happened to notice last year's weed, this year's seeds being hit by the last of the sunlight. A bit of wisdom. When a four year old wants to take a hike and tromp through the field, pretty much that is what you are going to be doing! Bedroom slippers on? Doesn't matter. Dinner yet to fix? Doesn't matter. Off you go then with a little hand all tucked up in yours.
USA, Nevada, Clark County, Lake Mead National Recreation Area. African mustard (Malcomia africana) is a nonnative, invasive weed with small purple flowers and leaves covered in branched hairs.
I'm pretty sure this was just a weed. Quite a nice looking weed, though.
Shooting with paper thin depth of field and trying to get multiple distinct parts of your scene on the focal plane, while still getting the composition you want is quite fun.
Hanging in the rain among hundreds, perhaps thousands of its brothers and sisters was this Fuchsia pink weed. I don't know what it is. But I know it was beautiful and colorful and it made me happy to take a photo of it to share with everyone. I hop you enjoy it.
While I prefer the sunset background here I often confuse titles between The Weeders by Jules Breton (1827–1906) and The Gleaners (1857) by Jean-François Millet (1814–1875).
Someone wrote a story about the relationship between the two Different Fields: Jules Breton and Jean-François Millet.
I have often related to the one woman who is taking the time to watch the sunset. I took me several years to notice that she is pregnant.
If you get down to a low enough level you find that an ant's eye view of the world and a human's eye view of the world isn't that much different. The forests of both worlds, both ant and human, are great and vast.
This developer really makes the 35mm half frame format work. This is an ascorbic acid developer originally based on the developer created by Pat Gainer. I added modifications tried and discussed in a forum. The recipe is as follows:
Water 750 mL
Sodium Borate 2.5 g
Sodium Sulfite 50 g
Ascorbic Acid 2.0 g
Metol 0.2 g
Water to make 1 L
I suggest D-76 1:1 times as a starting point for this developer.
Well look what I found Brody! I believe this is a caterpillar but I don't know what kind it is. And what that pile of fluffy stuff is behind it. Did it just morph to a new stage? It's about a half of an inch long. All weeding operations were suspended as I ran for the camera! LOL
Amazing how beautiful these tiny weed flowers can be.
They pass unnoticed as they can't be appreciated to the naked eye.
It's a little bit like society.....there are many weeds around, but some of them are worthy to be noticed......unfortunately we only tend to look at the flowers!
A week earlier, Cheyenne experienced a wind storm that lasted more than 24 hours. Winds statistics at the airport (on the 7th):
High---> Average
Wind Speed----> 53.0 mph------> 27.4 mph
Wind Gust-------> 67.0 mph------> 45.1 mph
One of the effects with all that wind was the piles of tumble weed created. My Border Collie Cody poses for comparison.

Explored #381....thanks friends! =)))
This little weed was growing in a little spot of dirt on the road....its amazing how it could grow and thrive in a few thimbles full of dirt!
Today is 33 days before my daughters wedding.....I am going to be very , very busy between now and the wedding...it seems its just sneaking up on us! lol
Reviving my artsy "Ground Metal" theme one more time. See my just-previous posting:

This photo also illustrates another thing that fascinates me:
Plants often grow in what seem to be truly inhospitable places. In this case, in a tiny bit of crack dirt next to metal that must get terribly hot in the summer sun.
Anybody know what plant this is? Click on image to see that its leaves sport hairs that look like proto-cactus needles.
In any case, I hope this is a demonstration of the ability of life to grow almost anywhere. Maybe this ability suggests there is a good chance we will find life somewhere else besides Mother Earth. Soon, I hope.

Joe-Pye Weed
Eupatorium purpureum, or Joe-pye weed as most people know it, is far from an unwanted weed to me. This attractive plant produces pale pink-purple flowers that last from mid-summer through fall. It’s a great addition to nearly any garden and a must have for wildlife lovers, attracting a multitude of butterflies with its sweet nectar. Growing Joe-pye weed flowers is a wonderful way to bring a little bit of nature to your backyard. What are Joe-Pye Weed Flowers? Joe-pye weed flowers were named after a New England man that used the plant medicinally for helping people with typhus fever. In addition to its medicinal properties, both the flowers and seeds have been used in producing pink or red dye for textiles. In their native environment, these plants can be found in thickets and woodlands throughout the eastern half of North America. The plants are hardy from USDA Zones 4-9. They reach heights of anywhere between 3 and 12 feet, offering great focal interest when using Joe-pye weeds in the garden. In addition, the flowers have a light vanilla fragrance that becomes more intense when crushed.
