Even when there is only a speck of soil, there is hope for life. This portulaca found hope and life in the space between pavers in my sidewalk. These plants come back every year from seeds that were originally planted elsewhere three years ago.

Afternoon September sun; Nikkor 18-70@70mm; f9@1/500 sec. Minor cropping and levels adjustment in PSP8.

  Love this one Wally. The lines and details all leading to the subject. Great job. Birds must have droped the seeds there.

  Neat shot, Wally!!! I love the design of your sidewalk with the little flowers struggling for life there. Actually it doesn't look like they're stuggling at all LOL.

  Terrific display of geometric pattern with the splash of color from the flower. Softness of life and hardness of the textured, longlasting "man-made" bricks.
