A tiny garden among the cracks - # 173

I'm gaining in my appreciation of wild flowers. Here is a close-up of a tiny garden developing in the cracks between the patio stones. I think I'll leave it for a while to see how it turns out.

  1. Fantastic picture. I believe there is much to be said for allowing nature to infringe on the straight lines and clean spaces created by man.

    As an aside, I wonder if there is any evolutionary reason for humans finding great beauty in nature...for one, it sure helps in motivating us to sustain plant/animal life around the world...I wonder if this is a lucky coincidence.

  2. There's a poem by William Carlos Williams “A Sort of a Song"; the final lines are "Saxifrage is my flower that splits / the rocks".

    You can find it on http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/print.html?id=178804
