My Wish Is For Cooler Weather _DSC9942

It's been another stinker in Perth, over 42C in the city and the hottest February day for 25 years. It was a little cooler where I live but still very hot, so I resorted to inside photography.

Fantastic capture and great on black. Wonderful details, crisp and clear. FAV.I hope you will soon get cooler weather, otherwise you are welcome to Sweden. We have 6 degrees and rain where I live :)

[Merrelyn]

@lenanau I wouldn't mind some rain, but I'm not too keen on 6 degrees :))

it's rare that I say this, but the bw version really worked for me.
(it has dropped from around 40 to 24 this week here)

Prefer cooler weather because it is easy to dress warmly but when it is hot not so easy to cool off.

[Gayle]

Absolutely love this image, Merrelyn! Incredible focus and lovely composition. :-)

[KWind]

FAV!

[Ethel]

Well, this is a beauty. You must have blown on it same time as shooting, to get those floating seeds. Did you make a wish?

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Lovely shot

[Valerie Chesney]

Beautiful...the sheen on this capture is brilliant. Fav

[Pyrrhula]

Beautiful close up. Fav.

[Sharon Lee]

very nice, I think the B&W is more dramatic though

[narayani]

Interesting to see it in colour - I prefer the b&w - I find the colour distracting

[bruni]

I also prefer the b&w. dandelion tea is delicious. I have 2 cups daily.

[Merrelyn]

@bruni I’ve never tried dandelion tea.

[Caroline]

This is absolutely stunning, and even more beautiful on the black background. Wonderful detail, and I really like the falling seedlings. Fav
