Given half a chance, the sweet little seedling will rip that paving apart in no time . . we worry too much about Nature : she's a survivor !

Beautiful photo with fantastic golden light! If you look at the shadow it resembles a body builder with huge biceps! No wonder you can't pull it out ;)

Great work! That shadow tells the tale. A bit of Round-Up might take care of this guy, but that might tick off Mother Nature...

I really enjoy your creative streak. I really like the light, colors and texures, and most of all that muscle of a shadow.
