That stands for "Unidentified Tiny Yellow Flower". I took a day off today so I had to get out even though the conditions were much less than ideal (winds to 25 mph). I had to seek out little corners that were somewhat protected from the wind. Even then I spent a heck of a lot more time waiting for a break in the winds than anything else.
This UTYF is very small (this is a 1:1 image) - maybe 1/2" to 5/8" across and grows very low at the sides of grass paths. Most are at grass level and few are maybe 4-5" tall at most. Any help with ID would be appreciated.

Reason: Cleaned up a dust spot that I missed
Agree with Robert !!! Firs thing I though was space to the opposite side !!! .... sure like the way you are naming them... Will be a big boom for my flower names !!!!! :)
Thanks for the comments folks. I really appreciate them. The original image was cropped a bit from the left primarily because I liked the the background to the right better. I went back and reworked it a bit cropping some from the right and leaving the left. Here is the result.
