Another travel day to a rural area where my internet is at times very sketchy - or non-existent. Therefore, I am posting this Sunday morning in order to be sure this is ready to go without any breakdowns. Please post in the Sunday Challenge first!!!

A couple of weeks ago, I saw a post in a weekly challenge by PAToGraphy (I know you all know her!). It was a lovely photo of a tiny wild thing with little seeds on it. Instantly, I remembered my first days with digital when I went out of my way to take many shots of such subjects to reveal their awesome mysteries.

We’re all so busy these days, it’s easy in our journeys to pass by unaware of such beauties around us. Therefore:

Your challenge for this week is to post photos of those tiny things that have a better than average chance of passing their existences unseen. They can be animate/alive or maybe not. But strive with your shots to show us the beauty we might otherwise miss if, perhaps, we were sometimes going through life without our eyes completely open.

Some things not necessarily planned or generally seen in the yard but interesting surprises.

I think I submitted this recently but rather than taking a picture and appreciating its uniqueness, I almost swept it up off the deck.

I have submitted a picture of this tulip before but I think it fits this challenge. Usually when tulips are this far past, I cut them off but this seemed to get almost more beautiful with its dried, crinkly aging.

All new photos taken for this challenge.(all heavy crops)
I have almost always taken pictures of what I wanted, but it seems that by taking photos of what someone else wants pushes me to try something new, which is why I like these challenges.
