Dandelion Clock

Took a walk down to Bowsfield Nature Reserve by the River Tees at lunch time. Saw some Lapwings, Heron, Reed bunting and the usual Coot, Swan and Mallard.

I took a couple of other shots of pretty flowers but this Dandelion Clock just looks so perfect and I love the contrast with the sky (deep clouds were looming).

Thats fantastic, I love it. I'm hoping to do a photo of a dandelion clock myself! +fav

Took a picture of one of these myself today. Lovely shot

Our dandelions are still all yellow. I can't wait until they start turning white (hoping to get a shot of a seed floating away...we'll see...lol). Great shot!

Beautiful shot.

Reed bunting, good spot! I nearly got attacked by a grey heron taking my pic. I climbed down the banking and spooked it fishing. I don't know who was more shocked me or him. They are big birds up close.

what a perfect clock :)

Great pic. I have dandelion clock envy, just can't get them in proper focus.

great dandelion clock - I haven't ever paid much attention to these really - but this year I guess they are so big and there are so many good shots of them...must get one for my album! Cool shot

Was trying to get the sun through one of these the other day but none came out as good as this.
