valley forge: flower or weed?

Posted by Chris (South Jersey, United States) on 29 June 2009 in Plant & Nature.

I think this is a weed growing out in the fields of Valley Forge, but it still carries a beauty that is hard to be matched by any flower...

"Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? All this time and money wasted on fashion—do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them.
Matthew 6:27-28

I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.

I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!
