Poverty weed tufts and leaves

The previous post showed a landscape view of the supple-branched little tree called poverty weed, Baccharis neglecta. This closeup from the greenbelt off Taylor Draper Lane on October 7th reveals the linear leaves of this species and the brushy tufts that its fertilized flowers produce.

If you’re interested in the craft of photography, you’ll find that points 1, 8, 9 and 15 in About My Techniques apply to this image.
