A humble weed surviving the winter as best it can.
Suddenly, the sun hits it in just the right way,
With a light that transforms it into a work of art.
Sometimes, all we can do is witness the miracle of nature.
I’m out and about for the next couple of days: have tests, projects and parties to attend, so I won’t be able to get around to your blogs for a few days.

My grandmother always said the only difference between a flower and a weed was where they were planted– but whether that is so or not they are both hardy and survive some nasty weather at times. A great testament to survival itself.
