Grass

I do agree! especially in Spring.
The ability to see and record the fascinating detail of such a clump of weeds is nowhere shown better than in Durer's study of a clump of weeds ... unless perhaps in Leonardo's notebooks ... or perhaps....and I can say that after spending half the day in the garden, pulling up weeds!
This one may take some time!
This is beautiful. I saw a beehive hanging out of a tree trunk this morning. Amazing to see the honeycomb hanging down like stalagtites in a cave.
Bert, if it's the same one I saw and photographed, I can tell you that it might be in the eastern part of Dorsoduro. :-)
...and the iron rail and the granite steps all in their own stages of growth and decline. excellent post.
Sir Bert The Navigator, don't give up, we're counting on you -- and what is the true name of the weeds?
What is more rare than . . . a blade of grass in Venice? Well done, Pierre (and I have faith in you, Bert).
Hey, Randy, come on now! I'm a venicelover, not a botanist!
I've found a couple of candidates, but I don't think that so much grass/whatever could grow on the bridges I've found, because of the amount of traffic they would have.
Thanks to some help from Pierre (he practically told me the answer), it's Ponte Corte Vechio, Cannaregio.
