this is a beautiful little pink flower. so small, i don't even stop to look at it. but when i did stop to look at it, i'm amazed at all the details God put into such a little thing. how it's more pink at the tips, the small white dot at the end of each pistil. i was never really interested in taking photos of flower, until i went out to take some for my mom. the details God thoughtfully put into each flower reminds me of all the loving details he put into me. :) what a wonderful Creator.

What lens did you use for that picture? I like the green and black background.

What lovely colours.  I really like this.

I wonder what the flower's name is.

I honestly don't know. it just grew up with the weeds. do weeds have flowers too?

Well, it depends on what is a weed!  ;)

Many call wildflowers weeds.

Many call dandelions weeds but they have a very pretty flower but if they aren't cultivated flowers that are planted in the garden, they are usually considered "weeds".

Thistles have gorgeous flowers on them but they are considered weeds.

If they are growing in the woods, they are lovely wildflowers but if in your garden where you have tulips, roses, asters, etc. you pull them as they are "weeds".

That  flower looks like one I have seen on my walks, I will take my camera tomorrow and see if I can get a  macro shot of the one I am referring to. The one I have seen is a weed. But has a very pretty flower.

You are so right.  How can we worry and fret when we have a heavenly Father who cares for the smallest detail in the smallest flowers!..
