This photo is of Queen Annes Lace. It is considered a weed in some parts of the country but to me I find it rather attractive.

I believe it's a relative of the carrot. Break a stem and it smells like carrot.

It is a relative but that does not mean it is safe to consume. When something is found in nature there will be a close relative that looks like, smells like that will be harmful to us. Each year there some that decide to make a tea out of hemlock much to their demise. So check it out before you proceed.
Poison hemlock and Queen Anne’s lace, also known as wild carrot, were introduced to the United States as ornamental garden plants. Both have naturalized widely to the point of being classified as invasive plants in many states, and both are toxic to humans, albeit to varying degrees. All parts of poison hemlock—leaves, flowers, seeds, stems, and roots—are highly toxic to humans, and merely touching it or brushing up against it causes severe injury.1

They are definitely weeds, but they are very photogenic--nice shot.
Here in the Midwest, they are commonly called carrot top.
