Blue Sparks In The Grass

 We saw the first signs of a change in the weather today! Out in the yard, does this all look like just a bunch of dead grass and twigs?


Maybe take a closer look.


Maybe even closer.


Do you see them? Little tiny blue flowers. They are smaller than your pinkie fingernail.


They are called Persian Speedwell. Considered to be a weed. But I love them. Tiny blue buds of cheer.


Persian speedwell: tiny blue lanterns lighting up the lawn.

Blink and you’ll miss it; pause and you’ll fall in love.

we have tiny white flowers, in the grass, or where there should be grass. love the quote, it is so so true, most people do not see what we see because if you don't SEE with a camera lens, we miss things. I started in 2002 to SEE with the lens of a camera and never looked back. before camera I never saw bugs, or small things, now I do

We get those little Signs of Spring in our grass too. I love them. They may be weeds but that kind of weed I don't mind.
Have a great day Ginny.

I love it... need that burst of spring around here, we are at the ugly stage of dirty snow, ice and slowly becoming mud season.

I never knew that's what they are called.
They are very pretty.
I haven't seen any signs of them yet in my courtyard though.
