This is one stalk from a bunch of weeds in front of my door:



This flower is about the size of my thumbnail. I took it in the late 1990's with a Canon A2E and processed it many many years later.



I hate bees. Hate them. Again, I took this in the late 1990's - with a Tamron 90mm macro. Too close for comfort.
