Ran out of time to head for the nature trail so I walked out the front door to take a pic of my lovely weed garden. (I was inspired by all the pretty shots of the flourishing green gardens in this challenge so I just wanted everyone to see how enchanting weeds can be. heh)

The light was shining thru the trees onto my precious garden and I captured one of the highlights here in this pic. It reminded me how fascinated I am with light and shadows. I understand that most of you are not gonna make this connection here but that is ok, I expect that. And this is my blog so I can say whatever I want. :D

So now that I have recorded the weed garden for posterity, I am going to go and dig it up tonight.

Excellent light and dark here. The thumb looks very eery and intimidating.

Terrific photo -- I like how the darks and lights in the background give the impression of depth. The way the light hits the dry leaves in front really makes them stand out. Lots of good shades of brown, and overall a very good composition. Good job!

Michelle, the colors are actually very nice in this shot and the composition is great! Now try it in B&W! this (IMO) would ROCK in B&W! textures and light, very nice shot!

The colors are amazing! Depth is awesome, too. This would be a great autumn photo - nobody would know it's weeds.

this is THE best shot .. i love all the shadows and that gorgeous colouring .. it reminds me of some enchanted garden or some place where a troll or some monster is going to jump out at you .. i love the stark sharp branches and the dead leaves .. this is excellent .. :)

Thanks for making me laugh! Now really though, it's a great pic of a weed garden. I mean, the dof is to die for, the crisp brown leaves and twigs are sharp as a tac! And the lighting is superb ;) So no more funny jokes. These are the best looking weeds I've seen in a LONG time!

Great shot and a lovely textured feel to it. the bokeh makes it feel very 3d. lovely golden brown colours as well

Seriously, I like the light and shadows in this. :) Also, I like the fact that I'm not the only one with a weed garden. I'm sorry to hear you'll be tearing yours out. Poor weeds! And they're so much easier to grow than other plants. :)

Ahh, now here are plants I can identify with. :) I like the lighting

The highlights & shadows do work nicely together here. Looks like the weeds could be hiding some enchanted castle or something.
