"We have a choice: to plow new ground, or let the weeds grow."-Jonathan Westover
If all weeds could be this beautiful, I think I just might be tempted to let the grow! LOL. This edition of the RRC comes to us from Kim, who authors the blog, "Nekked Lizard Adventures." Her idea was for us to showcase the softer side of weeds, by showing off their unusual beauty. For some reason, weeds have been catching my photographer's eye the last couple of summers. The way they look so soft against the backdrop of the ocean, and also the way they can appear when they grow among wildflowers. Like somehow they are saying, "Hey, we have our place you know, we have an earthly beauty that stands out, if you just take a moment to really see us." One day I took that moment, and now I am fascinated by them. I love photographing them. Great idea for the challenge Kim!

Your wildflower (weed) pictures are beautiful. I especially like your going-to-seed transitional series of photos. Thank you for hosting the Robin Robin Challenges. I have joined today too.
ReplyDeleteThis was great fun. I think I saw a thistle in a few of your shots. We have those but a little different if that is what they are. A wide range of shots to be sure! Grat job.
ReplyDeleteYour photos show beauty at its best. They are so vibrant and bursting with color.
ReplyDeleteThe colors in these are just lovely. Your weeds really are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNice array of weedy plants!
ReplyDeleteI played too :)
Carly, these weeds, or as Molly says, wildflowers are beautiful! Thanks for hosting a real enjoyable meme, Round Robin Photo Challenges! :)
ReplyDeleteCarly, my Round Robin post is at Answers to the Questions
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful birthday dinner. There are so many good places in your area for dinner. I envy you.
ReplyDeleteYou captured the fuzziness perfectly, but outdid yourself with the weeds at sunset. Happy birthday tomorrow!
Those are all fantastic! I think I like the drooping sunflower? with the friendly weed in the next to last photo.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hear them talking too. They do indeed want some of the limelight.
Man, you have great weeds out there on the west coast. Gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteare those 1st shots thistle?? we have a lot of that around here and i think it's so pretty along the roadsides. you've done a wonderful job here capturing the weeds...my favorite is that colorful field of wildflowers...looks like a painting! :)
ReplyDeletegreat photo's !! You have an artist's eye for sure!
ReplyDeleteHi Carly! Sorry I've been gone so long again -- I just read all the way back to where I left off, the fake boob Calrice entry, LOL! Sorry too that I've been missing the photo challenges, thought I'd be back by now, but now my camera is having some major issues :-(
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful birthday! Hugs!
Oh, I love those purple thistly ones! so cool! (And you know it takes a lit to get me interested in a flower!)
ReplyDeleteI really love those upclose photographs of the weeds with the detail and texture. We really have to admit, that even weeds have their beauty.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday Carly!
