On my way home from a nice long walk at Powder Valley this evening, this sweet little white bloom on the side of the road caught my eye.

I was so impressed with this gutsy little thing that I pulled over to get a closer look. It had twisted and pushed its way to the top of the fence and bloomed against all odds. Good for you, Brave Little Bloom.

Then, out of nowhere, I figured out that Brave Little Bloom had company. Big company.

Check out the first photo compared to this last photo. Seriously, WHERE did that nasty thing come from? Omigosh, that sucker was huge!

Um, Brave Little Bloom, you’re on your own.
