Wild flowers, grasses and weeds

Last week while blog hopping and visiting, I came across two beautiful posts featuring wild flowers, weeds and grasses. Christine and her Camera and Mac Wheeler posted beautiful photos of flowers and grasses in their area. It made me go out to the veld with the dogs and look for pretty wild flowers and weeds.

I'd said to Christine that we don't have dandelions anymore as we're in the throes of winter, but the first "flower" I came across was a...



...dandelion! 

 Further along my walk, I stopped to photograph the grasses 
a slightly different angle which picked up the fields and mountains in the background

Grasses with the harvested maize fields in the background

The dogs cavorted and explored and ran all over the fields

 The snow has melted on the peaks in front...
...but still lies thick on the Lesotho mountains behind

HAPPY MONDAY TO YOU ALL
