Unexpected "Life on the Street"

These tiny wildflowers were the LAST thing I thought I'd be photographing when I headed out Wed. with the theme in mind. No bigger than my thumbnail, and blooming happily in a sidewalk crack, they were a delightful surprise. It's still winter here, but the temp was 58F, (15C) and the next day (Thursday) - it snowed!
(I'm pretty sure this Alpine Quill which grows in huge swaths, even forming fields, and is naturally occuring at the snowline of mountains here in the U.S and in Europe.)
(Thanks for all your recent views and comments; every single one is much appreciated :-)
