With a flower as tiny as a ladybug, the bloom from the weed known as Cupid’s Shaving Brush (or lilac tasselflower, or emilia sonchifolia) is a challenge to photograph, even with a macro lens.  But who doesn’t love a challenge?  Captured in Coral Springs, Florida, April 18, 2014.  Higher resolution versions of this photo can be viewed at 500px.com.
