It's impressive sometimes what just the basic growth have in strength. Even the most tiny flower can break through asfalt like a hot knife through butter on a warm summer day. This I found alone, middle of nowhere. This I had to go dirty to capture, the leaves were muddy and wet plus the remains of the tree were just a couple of inches. This forced me to lay flat down my stomach and press my head down the ground so I could look through the viewfinder... dirty but well worth the shot!
Nothing beats close encounters with moder nature!

Your description is very much like something I saw today - I was out with my mother just helping her do things and such, and she was driving (I can't since I havn't bothered learning, but that's irrelevant) so I was free to look around from the passenger seat when I saw, alonside a busy road, a bank of hard clay-like soil that only Australia's most robust native plant's can survive in (Clay is very low in nutrients, rock hard when dry, and soggy when wet which harbours root-fungus) and yet - this tiny clump of flowers only about a foot tall and wide was just growing there on its own. The flowers are a common garden plant grown worldwide, I recognise their looks but don't know their name, but they certainly aren't found in the wild here, so the seed must have strayed from a nearby garden. And yet, In Australia's harsh climate, in poor soil and being along an unnattended roadside, the little plant still managed to flourish and flower - the brightest thing I saw on the street

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
