Thank you much to Janice Dunn
*note alas I (bob) thought it might be considered noxious here in Washington State. We are not exactly the shining capitol of nature and preservation in all ways..and thanks again to Janice for her workshop which REALLY improved my image!

A flower growing in my large weed patch. I know not it's name, but after thumbing, in a cyber way, through hundreds of images....I thought perhaps the Master of all Knowers...Ivan, could identify this for me. I know that I must have certainly taken it's image before. There are so many of them here until the city brings in the noxious spray to kill them. It is something akin to the death penalty for looking good. No matter the reason, I find it odd that man/woman must bring themselves to interfere. Even taking an image might be considered interfering. Sort of like the Butterflies Wings effect. This is where a simple wind caused from the wings of a butterfly, halfway around the earth, can somehow be linked in the remotest of ways to a tornado or a hurricane in the western hemisphere. Not pretending to understand that math behind this, I find myself understanding it better if I say one more as AI have before...those rods by Chief Seattle which I paraphrase..."The world is a web. We are all a part of the web. What we do to a part, we do to the whole"

Hey Bob, I just cropped around your pretty flower - for me! I feel that this way we can look more at the flower than the BG,
Hope you like it
