I do not know where the line is draw between wildflowers and weeds.  Maybe it is in the size of the plants or is it how ugly it is. 

The two pictures below are from what I would call weeds.  The are on the Big Creek Walkway and are from plants that are the only ones around.  Taken on two different days, they were about two miles apart.

If I had captured the surrounding area, it would look like a jungle, snarly and unkempt.  That is why the flowers caught my eye.  It was a 'Beauty and the Beast' moment.

This picture was taken on Linda's I-Phone last Summer on the Marginal Way in Ogunquit, Maine.  If you ever go to Maine, walk the Marginal Way, which starts in Perkins Cove and goes back to Ogunquit.  It is a paved walkway along the rocky coast and there are many benches on which to sit, rest, or better yet, enjoy it all.

This is a first for me to E-mail the picture from her phone to my Email.  I then saved the picture to my desktop and then imported it into Lightroom for processing.  As you can see from the shadow on the ground, the sun was to my back.  This cause a heavy shadow on my face and I can here a few saying, "That is a good thing!"

I tweaked the picture to lessen the shadow on the face, cropped the photo, and now it could easily be printed or saved as a desktop background.  There they are again... "Why?"

As an afterthought, I have included the original photo from the I-Phone below for comparison.
