Beautiful capture and composition, Ann! I wouldn't mind having these weeds in my rock garden. Besides, didn't all flowers start out as weeds..LOL.. #8776960frank w. degenhardt July 21, 2010
Ann- You show here my friend, that a weed has its beauty to and the flowers of a weed are just as pretty in color and looks as any flower we may have in our garden. The fact that this is natures rock garden is even more fantastic and she sure knows how to mix the vegetation and the rocks just right for this gorgeous garden. Beautiful work my friend.Ann H.
