Yesterday, when I posted pictures of three wildflowers, I had wanted to post a fourth. Alas, I couldn’t find the other flower, even though I knew it should be in my lawn about now.
Today, there it was: the thyme-leaved speedwell (Veronica serpyllifolia). In fairness, this is a tiny flower and easily overlooked. But, if one lounges on the grass with a magnifying glass, its beauty becomes evident. Two pictures follow.

Your posting begs the question “How small are they”
Ken, scale it from the grass blades.
This eventide, I’ll lounge on the grass with a magnifying glass for a leafly thyme.

The ordinary is extraordinary, all around us, even though our human eyes can see only a fraction of what exists in the world of the very small. Even with a magnifying glass!
