While out enjoying the sunshine yesterday I noticed these tiny white weeds growing in the garden. No idea what they are called and they are so tiny I used the macro setting on the camera.
Treasures to some, weeds to others.
Sort of like how people are in life. There are beautiful caring people in the world, but from another’s perspective, they could be seen as trash. Nothing at all. Beneath them perhaps.
Life is all about our perception and choices.
Nature continues to teach me every single day. I choose to see the beauty in nature and people. I hope you will join me.

It’s such a clear bright white, it reminds me of jasmine flowers. ?
Weeds are a way for nature to restore the soil, by protecting and nourishing it. They also give a place for insects and small animals to stay. When I remove weeds, I feel sorry because of this. However, no matter what you do, nature never gives up, she keeps on doing what she believes is right. I guess that can count as a lesson. ?
They were so tiny I almost missed them. Some weeds stay in my garden, others have to go, unfortunately. Nature never gives up is correct. I learn so much from nature.
Whatever’s on the picture is very nice dear friend
Thank you, they are weeds but tiny blooms.
Also, some weeds have beautiful flowers … only when there is no benefit to them … only do damage in the garden
They’re quite pretty… maybe I can have a pot of these … at least they’ll survive longer? LOL
Lessons from nature…? I think they’re a lot … one of them is never to bully something because of their small size.. their bites can be deadly!
They are pretty but they take over your garden.
You are so right about bullying. Everyone needs to read your words. And be nice to others always.
Yikes! Hmm…then maybe not, my garden is kinda struggling enough without weeds :p
Yes, we should all be nice to others. 🙂
Yes they will have to go soon. Always be nice. 🙂
It is so true – it is all about our perception, our view of the world. When I had a course of counselling a couple of years back, the psychotherapist said “Everything is a filter.” I didn’t really see what she meant at the time, but now I do.
Wow I have never heard that phrase, but it makes complete sense to me.
Thank you for sharing my dear friend. Always good to see you.
They are pretty, but go pull em. They are stickers. They will take over your yard. Sorry to say. They are pretty though.
Yes when the rain stops. 🙁 The lawnmower always gets them too.
I took a picture of these over the summer last year. Meika kept coming up with these black stick looking stickers. They go all the way to her skin. I had to find the culprit. I was so amazed at the pretty flowers, that were still present, even though the stickers were black and dried already. The ones I got had a yellow tint on some of the white flowers.
Oh wow I had no idea these were the same.
I am not 100% but fairly certain.
Yes, all is matter of perception. And it is up to us if we want to see the glass half-full or half-empty.
There you are Always good to see you and your positive attitude. You are right, trying to keep the glass half-full.
Awww. Did I already say thank you for following my Pixie page in FB? You have a different ID tag there but I remember your face anyway ???
Yes it is different and you are welcome. 🙂
I think they are beautiful and I wouldn’t mind having those weeds in my garden.
But they will take over completely.
Often great things emerge from small things in nature
You are so right my friend.
nature is a real best model.
I completely agree with you and I enjoy it as much as possible.
I’ve learned that natural selection exists for a reason, and we disregard it at peril to the entire species
Absolutely I agree with you.
follow the mandate of heaven and know prosperity; ignore it and toil in vain…
Love that Alex, thank you.
that’s Lao Tzu, I think…
Are you sure it wasn’t Mao Tse Tung?
Beautiful picture. As with plants, there are some good people and some bad people
Yes but I tend to believe the good outweighs the bad.
Very interesting post and a lovely photo! I think that it’s always like that – everything depends on people’s point of view.
Thank you Ellie, it just made me think about life for a minute. We are so in tune with nature. At least I am. 🙂
