[Leica] Wednesday Weeds

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  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:

This is a bit of bamboo growing in a retention pond protecting a condo
project that used to be a Catholic Church:

Again, not the 200, but a bit of grapevine gracing a wood privacy fence:

This is a random field outside of Austin with a late blooming flower in a
grassland:

Same field but maybe 50 meters further in, I was fascinated by these violet
bit of color in the field of drying grass:

Sometimes it seems even the weeds have companions crowding their space:

All the best.
