Roadsides in summer
This time of year, every roadside is blanketed in chicory flowers - if the weed whackers haven't gotten to it.

Love the chicory by the road, remind me of PA, too...
So that's what these flowers are called. Thank you. And what a pity the weed whackers destroy them.
I often wonder what makes a weed (nasty -- eradicate) and what makes a wild flower (desirable -- protect).
When this photo opened, an "Oh!" rushed out of me. Really fine shot. You are such an accomplished photographer, you make me want to visist Sharon in 3-D. I don't think being there would capture the place quite like you do, though. You should be very pleased!
Thanks for opening our window on your lovely town.

Nice shot! I know I've heard of chicory for a long time, but I had never seen it. Now I have! What a nice little flower, so bad they have to mow them down on the roadside, but I suppose, tall grass on the roadside is a traffic hazard.
Oh, the blues are clear and lovely.
