Poof

I was moved to shoot a dandelion, after I read that Crayola crayons are retiring their yellow colored crayon, named "Dandelion," in favor of a new blue shade.

It was this charming Op-Art which inspired me (Eulogy for Crayola's Dandelion): https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/11/opinion/a-eulogy-for-crayolas-dandelion.html?_r=0

By accident, kind of thematic for Good Friday, too.

Thanks for visiting... much appreciated.

Very crisp and well done.

Thanks for the link -- a perfect eulogy for yellow...now am wondering, what would make us need another shade of blue over the bright yellow? Fascinating question.

Wow - fabulous details. Fav!

I was staring at dandelions today wondering that I might capture this year. I need to look if I have that color in my crayon box.
