This week’s Monday Monochrome is this image of Queen Anne’s Lace blooms. Queen Anne’s Lace is the wild ancestor of the cultivated carrot and is found in meadows, roadsides, and waste places. While considered a weed in many areas, it serves as a host plant for the Black Swallowtail butterfly and attracts beneficial insects. (Can you spot the ant?)
