tiny joy

"Know that a flower is a weed seen through joyful eyes."--Jonathan Lockwood Huie

When I was little, we used to play with these tiny flowers. I don't recall seeing them in anyone's lawns growing up because they were called weeds and prevented with herbicides and lawnmowers. I guess my eyes are still joyful.

roadside beauty

At the beginning of June, these tiny flowers appeared in the median on my way to work. I'd never have noticed them were it not for the interminably long light. I wandered over with my prime and screw-in macro filters.
