April 15 - Unwanted Beauty

April 15 - Unwanted Beauty, originally uploaded by wasabi_peas.

Went on a 1.6 mile walk break today, specifically with the goal of catching Stranger #3. Must have been too cold, because I didn't see ANYONE.

However, this landscaping at a house along my walk caught my eye. The "bark dust" was glittering in the late afternoon sunlight. They had used recycled crushed glass as a landscaping fill. I was hoping for something with a little more contrast, but this little dandelion was the brightest and freshest thing growing in these.

Though when I thought about it more, I thought there was something cool about a dandelion (unwanted flower) adding beauty to a crushed glass bed (unwanted materials).

Used a bit of selective focus in Picasa to bring emphasis on the flower.
