Chickory

Common Chickory

You will see these growing along the road side this time of year.  I have long thought they are beautiful.  Much of the time I don't stop to look at it.  Maybe it is because it is  not large, about one inch.  Maybe I consider it a weed.

According to Wikipedia, the root can be baked and ground for use as a coffee substitute or additive.  

I enjoyed taking time to look at it again when I made this image.  I used a "rose holder" to stabilize it.  I then made three images for ample depth-of-field and combined them in Helicon Focus software.
