backyard and byways

A weed is a plant considered undesirable in a particular situation, "a plant in the wrong place". More broadly "weed" occasionally is applied pejoratively to species outside the plant kingdom, species that can survive in diverse environments and reproduce quickly; in this sense it has even been applied to humans. I'm painting the weeds found outside my studio door embedded in my driveway gravel and along roadway edges which I find beautiful.
