At the very end of the vegetable garden, where nothing useful is growing anymore, is a wild zone. No fruits, no veggies... just some self-sown flowers and weeds that tend to sneak through the fence and grow on the neighbours side and vice versa too. Their weeds or self-sown wildflowers (some crazy strawberry bushes too) travel to our side.

Not a bad thing, actually, as some of them are tall and quite bushy, providing some privacy. For this reason they are left alone (also because nobody bothers to care about that part of the garden). Then later in the year a lot of them produce either pretty flowers, or pretty, bluffy seeds.

It shows up in the same spot every year. Clusters of little fluff balls that look even nicer after the first frosts are covered in tiny icy needles. Not this time though. It was early fall when I shot those.

I had my trusty Sigma with me as I was hoping to catch some pretty spiders (as always), and on a sunnier day I would be able to get a nice, bubbly bokeh with it. But when the sun is gone, I get a more milky, smooth background. Almost looking like fog.
The lens is so versatile! No wonder I end up picking it up most times when I don't know what else to take with me. It just doesn't disappoint.

This is almost the whole plant. I have no idea what it is. Google suggests it's Solidago aka Goldenrod and it might be right. Google knows almost everything. :p

where nothing useful is growing

It's definitely goldenrod, but not useful?! It's a beautiful plant if you ask me, and pretty much all season long. Great shots!

Useful as in tomatoes, lettuce, beets.. :D
Besides that all weeds are nice and yes, this one is pretty awesome. I think I saw it in the wild too. They look really nice when there is lots of them growing all together.
