I have many dreams, mostly ones one can hardly convey in spoken language. IÂ want nature and peace around me, yet IÂ do not want to relinquish digital photography. IÂ have a Nikon D200 with a very basic lens. I had a Canon 30D too, but what a disappointment. BIO I am 55, an IT consultant and tried my hand at diamond digging, computer programming, being a network & computer technician, web designer, amateur photographer, etc. I am a man of the bush and appreciate simple things. IÂ do photography assignments from time to time. I am privileged to live where IÂ do, (map), a rural area in South Africa where I can hear the lions roar just 12 miles (20km) from where I live. I love this site and the artists uploading their work and I don't think any other site offers this varied depth in artistic skills. Piet

How lovely this is! The definition of a "weed" is any plant that grows where you don't want it. These do not qualify as weeds to me! A refreshing greeting they give...

I like weeds, all wild growing plants. These are beautiful, and most of them I know. Beautiful collage.

This is great piet. :) And keep up the faith; I know you can do it. Keep getting angry with them little buggers and show THEM who's boss over you! Very nice arrangement/collage. Have a great day.

I wish I was quitting smoking, but...... alas I'm not!! But I will enjoy viewing your wonderful collage of beautiful flowers anyway - I think some of our prettiest flowers are classed as "weeds" and these certainly are pretty and very colourful too. Great captures. xx

What a beautiful collage; I enjoy seeing the beauty of Africa! I'm not a smoker but I do have a weight problem and I'm committed to losing weight. So we all have bad habits to work on. I wish you well.

A weed is any plant you don't want in your garden. To me, as long as it is pretty, it stays. Nice job on some beautiful "flowers". Aloha P.S. I never smoked in my life.

Doesn't look like weeds to me...they are beautiful and some folks down in Kentucky and Tennessee would use some of these to make polk salad...very well done!

Each so tender and ... (hack, cough, cough, spit...) so perfectly presented. How on earth could... (cough, cough, hack, hack...) anyone think that mother nature would create something... (gurgle, hack, ahemmmmmm... 'scuze me... cough...) so beautiful and then designate it... (hack, hack...) a weed? Gorgeous shots, one and all! And thanks for the encouragement on giving up the smokes. It really is tough after 42 years to untangle your brain and nervous system from them.... (cough, cough, arrrrgggghhh!)
