Like A Candle In The Wind

photo 144

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

- lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Another attempt at a dandelion - Every day I come home, there's a bunch of new ones dancing in the lawn. I'm like a kid, gently blowing them and snapping away. Hope nobody's watching ;)

Happy mid-week everyone! :)

This is stunning, especially on the dark background, and as long as you're a happy snapper, don't worry about anyone else! BTW my Botswana pics are up if you have a chance to look at them... :-)

This is a great attempt! Well done. Isn't it fun to do? I am always too paranoid to blow them in my lawn as I don't want the weeds to spread, but they are so pretty for weeds.

These are one thing I do miss about the mainland. Ive only seen two of these in Hawaii in 7 years!

You've really captured the delicateness of the seeds - this has a wonderful "Portrait of a Dandelion" feel to it!
