What is a weed but a flower in disguise ?
Groundsell- a favourite weed of Goldfinches.

John, you're killing me with these beautifully detailed and tonally elegant images! You've taken what would easily pass for a common weed to a level demanding some respect. (Killing me is a complement on this side of the pond, but I should be careful with slang -- I've found phrases can have rather different meanings in different places.)

[John Robinson]

Thanks Diane. Your comments are always looked forward to. Not sure what you mean about the slang9! ( m a bit stupid!!)Thnk I know what you mean

Hi John,
Nice tones and details throughout. Nice presentation of what could be an awkward subject. Well done.

Lovely shot John - someone once told me "a weed is a wild flower in the wrong place". My only reservation is the damaged leaf top right usually things like that don't bother me at all but my eye keeps being drawn there for some reason. I think it is because I see a bit of xylem (...or is it phloem?)

[John Robinson]

Thanks all. Not sure what you mean Jon. All I can see is spider webs!
Cheers

Makes one look closely at something one might otherwise ignore. Outstanding! Love the background too.
