You may see allergens or weeds...
But as I drove by I saw radiance. warmth. beauty. And spring. It was a welcome gift after a very long day fraught with disappointments.
I always thought these grandaddy dandelions were more signs of summer/fall. But today there she sat. All alone.
Pokey couldn't help but make a wish.
What a beauty she was.
The last few days the weather has been much more pleasant. 50s-60s. Patches of sunlight. And athough it has certainly given spring a little kick-start, there are still trees without buds. Is spring already on her way out?
This is part of my 30 Days of Spring Photo Challenge. It runs through May 15th and you can join in at any time.
If you want to play along, you can add your pics to my 30 Days of Spring flickr group, you can tweet it using the #30dos hashtag, or you can do a post and share it here at project alicia. (The linky is over at Day 1.) Do as little or as much as you feel up to. Grab the button and start snappin.
Oh the last shot is almost unreal!
ReplyDeleteSpeechless. Beautiful!
ReplyDelete(It snowed here last night. Again.) I'm jealous.
I love these. The texture in the first one, and the little girl blowing the dandelion is another fave. So fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love that last shot! Dandilions hold a special place in my heart....when ever and where ever my kids see them, they feel they must pick them for me or pick and blow to make a wish:)thanks for this post!
