But on a happier note, isn't it amazing how much there is to be learned about a simple plant that we pass by every day? Just yesterday while "catching up" in my journal after a week away, I almost discarded a photo I had taken of an unknown weed by the side of the road. I decided to take a second stab at trying to ID it and by the end of the afternoon, not only had I learned its name (oyster plant-also called goat's beard and /or salsify) but had filled an entire page with information about it. I love the poem you included here- I've done the same over the years in my own journals.<br />Your photos are beautiful, as always!<br />~gretchenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
