Just bursting! by ruthmouch

Just bursting!

photo 211
Grace was invited to a poolside Birthday Party today(out of Beirut) and on the way home I just had to stop beside this patch of waste ground covered with these wonderful weeds.....apologies don't know what they are. All the open ones were infested with bugs feasting .........The light may be a touch harsh but it's summer here (sorry if you are still in your woolies in a UK summer) and that's a touch of sea and sky in the background........ :)

Thanks for all the wonderful comments and favs on yesterday's pic........You are all magnificent .....365 rocks!!!

Looks like Queen Anne's Lace - amazing that it's found all over the world. Ours will be found all along the roadsides in the fall.

The dof is great on this. The golden seed head against the soft coloured back is really lovely. Yes its unbelievably cold and windy here for the time of year, nice to see a cheerful shot.

Beautiful pov, and the colors and textures are awesome. I really do like that lighting, Ruth. There are times when that kind of light makes the photo even more beautiful. As it does in this case.
