If you look down the stem, you'll see a milkweed seed clinging to the stem of this Queen Ann's Lace. It was photographed the same day as the images in my Milkweed post last week.
I always get a kick out of seeing a leaf or a seed cling to another plant and this Hawthorn leaf and burr are no exception.
Another shared space is this tree stump. It's become home to this lovely, green fungi, and it must house a few bugs because it sure would appear that the woodpeckers visit from time to time. As an added bonus, it's a resting place for a fallen leaf.
And now, without further delay, here are the Posts of the Week. The icon below is yours for the taking if if your blog post is named as a POTW.

Hilary: I love your photos and I adore your POTW. I find each and every one of you picks to be a boon to my week, day, hour, moment. I love what you find to be a pick. Thanks for these lovely folks and what they have to say. Oma Linda
Another grand trio. The Burdock seed heads are wonderful.
Thank you very much for the POTW.
The second photograph is the one I prefer and I am now going to read your POTW selection :-)
All 3 of your photos also share a great deal of texture in their subjects.
Congratulations to all POTW entries this week. I don't always have time to comment but I do try to stop by and read each one.
Thank you, Hilary, for taking the time to share all of them with us.
Wonderful photos - that first one really is exquisite.
Congrats to everyone on their POTW!
I loved your version of 'two for the price of one' pictures - especially the first one, in all its delicious delicateness. Thank you once again for a real treat.
The leaf on the burr was a good catch. You have such good perspective, you can see possibilities from top or side or all around.
Your camera is so much an extention of you, have you always been a photographer, even as a child? These shots are all sumptious, as ever.
There are a few new blogs to me in here this week, I look forward to coming back to visit with some (smile)!
I love your unique perspectives. Your first photo is so intriguing. They're all lovely!
Thanks so much, Hilary. I'm truly honored to be chosen as one of your POTW's!
Exquisite shots! Great job:)
stump shot = sculpture by nature!
Love the leaf and bur shot.
Thanks for the POTW Hilary.
Loved the one of the tree stump! Really lovely photo.

The color of the sky in the first picture is simply awesome. I always enjoy your POTW as well.
once again, thank you for these. as always, i'm uplifted, moved, or just plain entranced by your picks. :)
Your POTW are a great place to find good reads. :-)

Intriguing shots! I think you're right about the bugs.

Always a treat!
Beautiful photos and great posts, it must be Hilary's place!
Thanks Hilary for putting my photo. And, you are a very great at photography yourself.
Love your way of looking and noticing things, Hilary! I'm so far behind on blog reading... thank you for posting these!
Whatever pictures you post, they're all splendid.
A wonderful series, full of suggestions.
Thank you very much Hilary for the POTW.
For my it is a great honor this mention, coming of a great photographer as you.
A hug.
Hilary's post brought to mind a conversation I had with a dear friend. Its focus was introspective yet this same individual didn't recognize at that time the extent of their boundless talents.
My point: its all about relationships.
A nice selection today.
Love that leaf and burr as well as all your shots. I know a few of these posts! Look forward to meeting some new folks!
The Queen Anne's lace is epic, Hillary. Amazing. Thanks for doing the work for us and for sharing such great images.
You not only put together a theme but you had some awesome photography.
What a great crop this week!

I so wish I had time to visit each and every POTW! It makes me sad because I know I'm missing out on something truly special. One of these days when my life calms down, I will click on each and every link. Because I know if you picked them, they must be awesome. Congrats to all of the winners!
Thank you everyone for your always incredibly kind and supportive words. You are all so appreciated. You folks are the absolute best!
That first shot is stunning.
Thanks for the reads...
Have a wonderful day Hilary!
Hi Hilary, That first photo is very interesting-- the contrast between the two is lovely.
Thanks for more great posts. I loved Betty's the first time I read it and I enjoyed Carmi's very much.

Such strange bedfellows must make for interesting pillow talk. Lovely how you caught them whispering to each other.
I specially like that photo of the spikey things Hilary - Dave
That second image looks like a butterfly.;))
These posts of yours make me feel guilty as I never seem to find time to visit all these talented writes and photographers.;)
Have a great end of the week dear Hilary,
xoxo
