Default Making a weed more than what it is.........

Our pasture has an abundance of Nettle (aka Henbit). The tiny purple petals caught my eye so I decided to see how a macro would turn out. I like it. Please feel free to add any comment.

Wow, very beautiful. I love the details and color is magnificent. The nettles I am familiar are the stinging kind I'm afraid. These look much mcuh nicer.

Beautiful shots. You say it's a weed but I still think it's pretty.

Default My gosh!

Thanks everyone!
Seems like I'm naturally more inclined in the area of macro. I gotta get crackin in other areas though! But that is exactly why I'm here....to learn.
