Here is another unknown weed that is running amok at the back edge of my property and from a distance it looks awful.
Getting down within those weeds, and with the right light, colorful and playful compositions can arise from them!

At first, I thought that these were little berries or fruits from the plant. They are flower buds that have yet to open.

Canon Rebel 300D
Canon 100mm macro & teleconverter
Available light
1/40 sec. @ f4.5
ISO 100
Levels in PSCS & slight USM
Cropped from each side for a different look

Thanks for looking gang,
Mike

Another beautiful, subtle image; very nice soft colours; and the sort-of-panoramic aspect ratio works very well for this one also :)
