Lovin' weeds

I have to admit, since I started 365 I have grown a fondness for the all intrusive weed! I almost love weeds now more than flowers! They have more character. Like a worldly souls. They are tough and persistent but still refined. No need for pampering or direction. They will grow where they want and how they want . Flowers with attitude!

[Mary]

FAV!! I now love weeds too!! Crazy 365, who would have thought!!

[Kelly]

Very pretty Jerry, love the DOF! A weed in only a nominal classification and has no bearing on beauty! Fav!

[Lisa]

You've got some mighty fine lookin' weeds there! Weeds are so resilient! Fave for both your photo and commentary!

[Tanja Carda]

Stunning shot Jerry... I also have become very fond of weeds and wildflowers. Photography has me me see the world in a different way!!!
Oh and Fav by the way =)

[marlboromaam]

Gorgeous shot! This looks like status flowers that florists use for filler in arrangements. They're beautiful, Jerry! Wildflowers really are the best! FAV!!! May I pin it, please?

[jerry plume]

[Kirsty]

@munchkin84 I see these every day I go to work in a field! The flower is at the end of a long stem and they all grow at the same height! So pretty to see a field of these!

[Kathy Burzynski]

[Maggiemae]

A lovely arrangement of photographic choice!

[Patty J]

Those can't be weeds... they're way to pretty!! Beautiful shot!

[lorihiro]

It looks like Statis (we used to call them "paper flowers"), but I am sure there are some botanical intelligent 365ers out there who can identify these pretty little purple lovelies! I love all things little because of 365! :-)

[Rob]

Gorgeous colours! Love weeds as well!

[Francis Aldana]

this is true..

[Bobbyj]

[Nikki]

This is such a pretty shot

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Lovely shot, it's amazing how 365 gets a person down on their knees or laying on their stomach so much to get a shot :)

[Mel]

They are very pretty weeds!! lovely dof also, wonderful shot

That's beautiful!! Totally love the little story accompanying it. :)

A weed is only a plant that grows where you don't want it to. These are lovely and I could see them growing in any garden setting. Well done!

[Julia]

[Disha Parekh]

Simply beautiful.

[mag]

Lovely shot jerry....and I like the way you are thinkin.....

[Michael Elliott]

Jerry this is gorgeous and a Fav! Someone once told me a weed is just a flower that doesnt belong where it's growing. But outside the lawn or garden, weeds can be the most beautiful flowers.

[Louie]

Great shot Jerry. Love the composition and DOF. Perfect.

[Laurie Higgins]

I'm in love with the weeds too, and this one is gorgeous! Your words as well as your photo made me happy tonight.

[Paul]

[Sabrina]

Love the composition and colours! So lovely and dreamy ...

[Juliette Packham]

Great dreamy feel to this - superb DOF

[Leslie]

Exquisitely dreamy - congrats on fantastic work.

[Karen Josie]

this is so pretty!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I am the same way! I never felt that way until shooting pics and they come out so pretty! I see a field of weeds by the side of the road and want to just go roam through it....and I hate cutting the grass...there go the weeds and the bugs!

[Amy G.]

Love!

[Pam]

Your weed photos are amazing! I too have a new love for weeds. I even let dandelions grow in my flower beds just so I could photograph the spent heads. I would have never done that before this project.

[Charlene Barker]

Amazing shot!

[Erinn Dubay]

I love it - flowers with attitude! I love your focus with that shallow dof. The light is just gorgeous! fav!
