Dandelion Cascades by danacarruthers

Dandelion Cascades

135 / 365
This dandelion was sitting up all alone in the grass next to the wooden fence from yesterday's photo. I am a sucker for dandelions and if I have a camera in hand I have to photograph them. For a weed, they certainly are beautiful. I love the way this photo made it look like the spores were cascading out from the centre.

I would love to tell you that the blue background is the sky ....... but I cannot. It is in fact a road. The wooden gate was on a slight incline up from the road. I lay down on my tummy looking back down the incline towards the road in order to photograph the dandelion. Made for a nice background though !! Amazing what a slight lightening of shadows can do !!

great composition, looks like it's made up of gold and silver...
posted May 14th, 2012  
I'm a sucker for them too, this one's like a little sparkler. Are you happier with the size of this one then?
posted May 14th, 2012  
the coluor & light in this, with the simplicity of the composition are fabulous. Fav'd.
posted May 14th, 2012

Still no lady bugs though !! Will have to wait for Spring.

I think this is wonderful. Love the clarity and colour. Fav.

Brilliant how the outer layer and the centre of the flower are sharp, while in between it's out of focus.
posted May 15th, 2012
