Dandelion Forest

I have a beautiful yellow grass patch in the front garden, I should mow it down but so many bugs are visiting and it's too darn hot!

My lawn is the same Jackie but quite pretty to look at for a while until they get mowed down.

[Louise & Ken]

What a lovely respect you have for nature and natural beauty! All can wait for cooler weather!

[katy]

I am seeing more and more suggestions to let lawns become Support systems for bugs and nature in general so good on you ! Besides it gave you a beautiful subject for this terrific composition

[LManning (Laura)]

This is a terrific mono.

[Sally Ings]

Lovely shallow dof.

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely shot! Is this you laying on the ground?

[Sally Ings]

You should enter this for the monthly theme

[KoalaGardens🐨]

so good

[Susan Wakely]

A fabulous addition to your B&W month.

[4rky]

Rewild! The bees and butterflies will thank you (even if the neighbours won't) :D

[narayani]

Beautiful image and the bees are thanking you.

[Kathy]

how lovely and graceful.

[Taffy]

So elegant looking, brought even further by your choice of b&w

[Esther Rosenberg]

No mow July! lol :) bugs love the long grasses :)

[Shutterbug]

If they weren’t so invasive, they would probably be appreciated in a wildflower garden. They are pretty and so are their seed heads. Beautiful in b&w.

[Babs]

Looks gorgeous on black.

[amyK]

Beautiful focus and dof; nice range of tones on your b&w

@amyk thanks Amy, I just cannot get a decent high contrast!
@onewing oooh thanks for looking
@shutterbug49 they're staying a while longer....
@dutchothotmailcom the tiny little beetles on the flowers are fascinating

@salza thanks Sally, tagged it
@carole_sandford yep! Workmen across the road slightly intrigued
@salza nice when a plan comes together and surprised looked ok in monochrome
@ljmanning thank you, they're about 6" tall!
@grammyn close by so no need to travel to a real forest! No dragon flies in my garden/yard though :(
@Weezilou oh dear, it's not respect it's laziness!!
@wendyfrost they're there so mowing won't get rid of the plant and I'm hoping the seed heads might give a pretty photo next week?!

[Yao RL]

They are so pretty and lovely in B&W.

[Delwyn Barnett]

This is lovely! Nice focus. Nice in b&w
