dandelion

I was surprised to discover the place from where each days new sun arrives ;) https://www.tomcharlesphotography.co.uk/

Hope I've got the ID right on this flower, it's a few months since I took it but think that's what I thought at the time. There are a few look-alikes though. That path can look really pretty in the spring.

Seed head

Pristine new Orange Tip feeding on a dandelion flower quite happily in the lovely spring sunshine yesterday

Although it's a weed, I love how the seeds of dandelions look.

A favorite book from when I was little was "One Morning in Maine". It's about a little girl with a loose tooth. Her parents tell her that when it falls out, she can put it under her pillow and make a wish to the tooth fairy. But one day when she's out with her father digging for clams...

I happened to look out my window early one morning and saw a sliver of the sun's rays touching the top of this Dandelion. It turned a very common and ordinary flower into something quite beautiful. I grabbed my camera and snapped off a few shots, before the sun disappeared behind the shade of a...

If you look around you may find the humble Dandelion in flower. Some (like this one) have massive flower heads on a low stalk with hardly any leaves. It's like the plant knows the mild spell is limited so puts all its energy into the flower and not the plant itself. Beautiful flower, walked...

This is sort of a follow up to my dewy web from yesterday. I used a 300mm lens to isolate this gone to seed dandelion against a dark shadowy area.

I couldn't resist taking a closeup of the dandelion with the dew settled on it

A shot taken during a recent visit to the beautiful region of Betws-y-coed, Wales. I was basically experimenting with the cameras versatility. Im guessing the flower/plant is some kind of Dandelion. (Open to someones expert eye for confirmation)
