Yellow Snapdragon
Sometimes called Fireweed or "Touch me nots" this yellow snapdragon was growing along a fence near my home in the fall. I was out looking for subjects and came across this. A good example of how the beautiful can be found everywhere, even in the most common of areas if you just stop to look. The pods seen here swell with seeds and pop open when ripe to disperse the seeds inside.
