It's a plantain, if you need to know! One of my favourite wild flowers, and a great pic!

Bothellite
We used to rig those for shooting at each other.. After they are dried up a bit in the sun, pulls the thing out with a long piece of stem attached. You take the detached end and pull it around and over the stem just behind the flower head and bend - almost break it over that portion of the stem, to kinda make a tight-kinked loop. Purpose of that is to snap off the head as you pull quickly on the stem pulling it against that sharp bend which you are holding tight with your other hand. Just a couple of tries and you get the gist (which you probably already know from kid-hood). And no I'm not a gun person... And... this is a nice shot! :-))

As kids, we did the same thing with these that Bothellite (above) did. Cool.

Yep! Remember doing that too. :D Excellent capture!

It's a weed. LOL! But I looked up plantain, and discovered this weed from my childhood (which were used as ammunition, as above), is known as English Plantain. Who knew? Well, they say a weed is just a plant that's growing where you don't want it. Aside from all that ... fantastic lighting on this! It fairly pops off the screen.

Wonderful capture!

WOW! I love this. I've never seen one of these before (and had no idea that they could be so intrinsic to kid-play.) I love the DOF here and the color. I love Tara's response too. I like weeds...often more than things people plant on purpose. But that's just me, I'm weird. I talk to crustaceans, after all.
