I’m always thrilled when a photo I unload from the camera turns out to be far more interesting than I realized when I first composed the shot. This was one of those times.

I’ve got a lawn full of these buggers that grow far faster than the grass they tower over, constantly pushing me to mow the lawn more frequently than I would prefer.

But this one, found while walking through the Saratoga Spa State Park, needed to be photographed and it revealed far more during the development process than when it was being photographed.
