Good Day, Sunshine

I saw this pretty weed in my yard this morning and liked its perfect color and shape. After I uploaded it I noticed the village of bugs living on the stem!

Lovely capture.

@gennywren Thanks, Genny! I appreciate the visit and comment!

[Shirley Jess]

Great capture!

[Peter de Graaff]

Looks like lots of ants or aphids on stem?

[katy]

@shirljess Thanks so much!

[katy]

@peterdegraaff At first I thought they were aphids but they seem to have wings so I don't really know what they are!

[Missrobyn]

would not of noticed. keep shush on it!

[karenann]

So beautiful and such a great pov! Do you know what I did when I saw the bugs? I scratched my head .... because I "felt itchy!!" That's what I call a realistic photo .... draws the viewer right in there. :)

[Marilyn Wigen]

Wonderful macro and PoV and color and focus... and little army marching up the stem! :)

[Kimberlee]

awesome macro

[katy]

@missrobyn LOL! they don't show up as well on this one as they did on another one but once you see them you can't NOT notice them!

[katy]

@karenann LOL! You are so funny and so nice too,KarenAnn. Thank you for always having such thoughtful comments!

[katy]

@marilyn ;~} thanks a bunch! I took a full on shot but didn't get it composed quite right so I will try to capture it better another day!

[katy]

@kimfaria So nice of you to say,Kim. Thanks so much!

[Deb]

Weeds are flowers too :)

[katy]

@deburahiru Some times they are more beautiful than cultivated ones!

[Jennifer Wearing]

Made me smile because of the beautiful yellow colour and then because of the bugs:-)

[katy]

@jennwearing I'm glad it could give you a lift! Thanks,Jennifer!

It takes a village to raise a weed...right? Those may be my friends, the winged aphid.... Were you the one who was saying one day that dandelions were on the "required shot" list? I know you were saying they were over done but you were still putting one up anyway. Anyway...I have a "dandelion" shot for you in my album tonight. :0)
