Hi!

I would appreciate an ID for this cute plant/flower. I'm "botanically challenged" and as a recent trans'plant' to NorCal I have no idea what this plant is. I'm sure it is very common.

Thanks!

Sure looks like Herb Robert, also called Robert's Geranium. Geranium robertianum.
It's in the geranium family, if you hadn't already guessed

I thought it looked like Perfectus Pictorus.

Im not sure of the plant name but what I am sure of is that it's a nice shot. The bokeh is real nice on this one and the placement of the flower makes for an original composition. Nice work!

I'm not sure either, but this shot is really beautiful! Well seen, composed, and captured!

I think Rod's got the ID correct, I have these growing wildly in our backyard and they take over an area but they're very hands off gardening wise yet pretty. I like 'em but I've heard neighbors complain about 'em.

BTW, I like the shot
