A Photo's Worth: "Golden hour" photos, Part 5

Wednesday, October 9, 2013

I don't know what kind of weed this is. It just made for pretty photos.

Mark said...: I think you should start a new feature to your blog. "Ask Grandma G""

The question is who determines what is a flower and what is a weed when weeds have great flowers. Nothing looks better than a whole field of Mustard blooming bright yellow but it is a weed.

I will await your answer.

As always great pictures, you definitely are a very talented photographer.; 10/9/13, 11:37 AM
Grandma G said...: Haha. Oh, dear... what a suggestion! :)

Okay, my answer is: a flower is a plant you might have trouble growing and you work really hard to make it do so... a weed is a plant that grows anywhere with no trouble at all and you work really hard to make it not do so.

Oops! Rereading the question, I see that you asked 'who'. Well, that definition is mine, so I guess it must me me. Ha! Actually, maybe the answer is that a flower is in the eye of the beholder. Hmm???

How'd I do? ;)
