“Me like pretty shiny things”, says the weed curling its clawed leaf around the treasure. “I’ve caught the sun and the sky in a bit of bright. I’ll hold onto it forever. No one can say I am ordinary now.”
The day grew warmer, the weed dozed in the sun, and the bit of diamond bright disappeared. One’s moment of fame is so fleeting, but thanks to the sharp eye of the weed paparazzi, this celebrity moment was captured.
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.
