I was telling my mother about this the other day. I study botany and often some of the most interesting plants are the tiny, seemingly boring ones. This is some spotted spurge, Euphorbia maculata, growing out of a crack in some stones.
I have a "neglect bowl" for things like this I've literally scraped off a sidewalk.
Also I get a lot of speedwell as a weed and I kind of like it so I usually let it do it's thing.
Those asters are lovely, too. I'm not sure those grow here
Oh I get it, yesterday I scraped up a random rush I saw in a Martin's parking lot. I'm now pressing it with some Sorghastrum and Panicum.
That's so pretty. What did you use to take the super zoomed in photo?
I live near a city and it makes me want to study enough botany to identify the various plants that spring forth in unexpected places. Some of them are quite beautiful and I find myself moved by their improbability.
Thanks a lot! I have an Olympus Tough TG-6. They're on the TG-7 now and my buddy has one, but they're almost the same camera so if you find a 6 available get that.
I've probably put 20,000 photos on this thing. It's an amazing digital camera. I have dropped it onto concrete, it's waterproof, just all around great. I recommend getting the ring light if you want to do macro photography. I've gotten some awesome pics with it.

You wouldn't think it but the vast majority of my photography is of plants. I just got some great mileage out of photographing insects.
