Wild Flowers (Or "Weeds"?)

Fields and ditches are full of color - and flowers - all summer long.

These wild flowers (or "weeds") add beauty to country drives.












Here in the city, we spend a lot of time trying to get rid of them. If we stopped our gardening efforts, they'd take over...











These yellow flowers on the hillside near our home are also firmly established in our lawn...












They are pretty - from a distance! I'm glad they're there!

When I think of how much effort I put into trying (unsuccessfully) to get rid of them - they remind me of the strength of "nature" - in comparison to my puny gardening efforts!
