Beauty in the wrong place

It has been a lovely sunny day here today so I got out my camera and took a few shots. I had intended to post the usual spring suspects i.e daffodils and tulips but I ended up taking these and I got a bit philosophical...............................What is a weed? - only beauty in the wrong place!

And perhaps my favourite shot...............................................................

I can usually see the best in everything but looking at the back lawn today I only saw weeds and gloom until I reminded myself there are two ways of looking at anything and these photos' just prove that beauty is everywhere......................just sometimes it takes a bit of effort to see it.

My camera is a fairly standard digital, did not cost the earth type, one that has automatic focus. The focus was essential as my eyesight is not what it should be even with glasses! I used to love my SLR camera but it got to a point that I was not taking any photo's with great focus anymore and me being me, if it's not perfect then forget it! This camera (Pentax Optio s45) has a few different auto settings, but sometimes the focus does not seem to be great, however today is was playing ball and I am pleased with the end result.
