That is Creeping Charlie. Many people consider it a noxious weed but I have found that in contained areas, it is actually a desirable plant.

The more I look through your pics, the more #11 stands out to me. It is so unique.
The blooms look like naked birds hanging.

I like #2 -#3 and the pink bleeding hearts. Good Luck with the contest. THe ferns grabbed me as well. Nicely defined.

Thank you.

I have all summer to take pictures. This is the first batch. I was kind of inspired by our rain the other day. I also have a setting on my new camera that allows me to focus on one central object and fade the back ground out. I was playing with that too. I was hoping to get on or two stand outs that I could put up against the rest as I take them. I can submit up to 3 photos.

Thank you. You don't think that that leaf in the bottom left hand corner of # 11 is distracting?

Creeping Charlie is creeping all over my yard. I think it's pretty, but I never knew what it was. Thanks!
