This is my next (the first photo) entry to  the  Monochrome Madness Challenge (MM) hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky so happy to be able to be part of this talented group!. I have not done a black and white entry of a flower for them for this week( 25), so here is Succisa pratensis, Devil’s-bit or Devil’s-bit Scabious ,…. I think it looks good  in monochrome.

Life of a dandelion

Past week the weather has been great here in southern Finland, I’ve spent my days outside. Sunshine and warm temperatures, what  a bliss. Today it has rained and I’ve been posting my pictures taken this past week. This weed is lovely ,it is summer, but a pain in the garden. Here is the story of dandelion – as I see it. From beginning to end.

Yellow wild flower( read weed)

I have no name for this plant, I never do, I just take photos of something pretty. I love the texture here, they are weeds I know, but pretty.
