Three inches tall and slight of build. Possessing nothing much to impress the eye, this weed aspires to survive in plain sight by putting down roots in the front yard planter. For two weeks and counting, rain has fallen and blown elsewhere, the gardeners have come and gone; even the hose has been moved, but this little weed still claims its spot against the warm rock. It sports luscious green tones and red highlights, topped off by yellow stars that, nearly invisible to the naked eye, only revealed themselves in this photo!
Please come back tomorrow for a new “Weed Image of the Day” and let me know which ones you like.
We and our weeds are so much more than what we first appear to be.
I am inspired by things that grow in the ground and blow in the wind. I like to play in the dirt, especially when planting something, and can talk to trees. I like to look closely at things that at first seem small, insignificant, dried out, or contrary. Weeds may not welcome me with swollen blossoms, but the visual treasure they offer up, are well worth a look. Do you agree? I hope that these images of the oft-overlooked pest of our gardens and yards may give to you some delight, hope, or a new thought to make your daily journey just a little bit more inspired.
