Weeds Of Beauty

Weeds! We want them out of our gardens and lawns.
They grow faster than any cultivated plant,or so it seems.
But,when we stop to look at weeds,they really are quite lovely.

These yellow weeds were growing beside the Lagoons.
I know I do not want them in my garden,but they are lovely here.

Another weed also at the Lagoons.
Such a beautiful color.
All I needed was for a butterfly to visit these flowers,but alas,that did not happen.


This weed has no flowers,but is still showing it's beauty,as it stands at attention beside the water.

This sunshine yellow flower brings  a smile to my face.
It may not be on any gardeners most wanted list,
but it has as much beauty as many expensive plants,
look at those delicate petals.

My next picture is not a weed to get rid of.
Many times we say,children grow like weeds,and they surely do.
This is our precious Kai,who is growing up so fast.
She had just gathered a few flowers to take home,when her Dad got this picture of her.
I think the best flower in  this bouquet is the one holding the flowers.

The above picture was taken in our back yard.
You can see that the plants are allowed to grow wild there.
Yes,part of the yard has lawn,but we leave some areas wild,to encourage wild flowers.

Thought for today:
 A weed is simply a plant that wants to grow where people want something else.  In blaming nature, people mistake the culprit.  Weeds are people's idea, not nature's.  ~Author Unknown
