This tough little sprig of peppermint is growing despite being hauled from the earth and transplanted twice. I’m very fond of the purple in the stem.

This is one of last year’s sunflowers left outside over the winter for the chipmunks. It startled me when I first saw it, I thought it was an animal! I like the contrast in textures between the sunflower head and the rock, and the shape of the leaf between them. I tried processing it as black and white but I think the muted colors add more to the image.
