Filaree And Friends

Hello pretty Filaree, how many aphids do you have? I shall count them, one, two three…Are there more? Eagle eye, let me see.

When I see an interesting weed gesticulating wildly in the wind to catch my eye, I smile. In that moment, weed and I have communicated. We are connected. When I see a weed strike a dramatic pose, I lean in close, examine the angle, and lean in closer still for another look. A dramatic pose deserves some appreciation.  How I do admire their poise, their tenacity, their vigor! Live life like a weed and stand strong!

This Filaree is offering up a fun puzzle to solve – count the aphids – one for the easily entertained, I’ll readily admit. But life is full of complex puzzles. Isn’t it nice to be treated to a simple one now and again?

Have a wonderfully whimsical day, dear weed lovers!

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.
