Pineapple weed, captured in Sunol Regional Park, California. Canon 100mm lens, f8.0, 1/100th second, ISO200. This tiny flower is about the size of a small pencil eraser. It is commonly found on dirt trails and is quite hardy amid foot and animal traffic. In the summer, this charming flower turns into an ugly, vicious, thorny ankle biter! But in the spring it's a hidden gem right under your feet that goes unnoticed by most.
