| One of the great advantages of photography is that it encourages us to slow down and take the time to really see our surroundings. Today while out in the yard I happened to notice some tiny specs of blue protruding through the grasss. On closer inspection i realized that it was the blossoms on a lowly weed called "Ground Ivy".
I snapped a couple shots of the plant then i got the idea to place a ruler next to a stalk and shoot a picture to give a size reference:
As i continued to look at it I could not help but notice how tiny and intricate those blossoms really were so I set out to get a close up of just the blossom.

| Love those weeds. Actually I don't like having to pull them up. I believe they help in giving of some needed cover for potential flora! |
