my weed scanning method

and a found piece of cardboard:
a box for a 'thin back support'

Mentha arvensis 
Åkermynta
i juni
och i september
Corn Mint
these are all
from the untended strip
sloping up towards the bus lights
a patch of mint
up in the dry corner
a small scattering of fleabane
and corncockle
in the tuft of lost garden annuals

well
it shows the advantage of scanning
- to be more precise,
the corn cockle pried out of a digcam photo lacks
(given my photography skills)
the internal cues for volume
- shadows and texture - that the scan would give.
