Where least expected ...




Whilst out walking about, snapping pix of tulips and daffodils and seasonal whatnot, came across this common weed that had found just the barest amount of dirt in which to sprout and thrive. I marveled over the odds of a seed catching hold in that inhospitable spot between asphalt and concrete curb. I found something appealing in the purple spears radiating out from its center root, and the discoloration of the surface of the asphalt.

This fading magnolia, too, was lying discarded in the road, certainly not at its best, but there’s something elegant and graceful still in its few remaining petals and creamy texture.


Beauty and inspiration in the least expected of places.
