This will be a long post as I spent a lot of the week wandering around with a 200mm macro. Not so much with the first image. This view of ivy covering a fence is just my fascination with vines ability to grow long distances from their roots and thrive. Some days I think common English Ivy might grow taller than a Redwood if given a chance: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/ivy+on+lattice.jpg.html This is a bit of bamboo growing in a retention pond protecting a condo project that used to be a Catholic Church: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/bamboo+once+shorn.jpg.html Again, not the 200, but a bit of grapevine gracing a wood privacy fence: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/grapevine+and+fence.jpg.html This is a random field outside of Austin with a late blooming flower in a grassland: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/one+in+the+grassland.jpg.html Same field but maybe 50 meters further in, I was fascinated by these violet bit of color in the field of drying grass: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/scattered+violet.jpg.html Sometimes it seems even the weeds have companions crowding their space: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/thistle+with+companion.jpg.html All the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
