running out of time

Yesterday on our walk I saw a whole patch of dandelion clocks but had left my camera indoors. Today they mostly looked like this.

'moments of happiness'
a) a cold North wind this morning but I had wrapped up warm
b) I'm looking forward to Neil cooking again today: spag bol

[Beryl Lloyd]

Oh yes ! another windy & cold day --just think all those little seeds firmly embedding themselves to grow & bloom anew !! we may become an island of Dandelions anon !! LOVELY IMAGE THOUGH Hazel

@beryl

Thank you very much, Beryl. The dandelions flowers are a lovely yellow though and cheery in the spring?

[Ivan]

Evocative image, the passage of time and nature - but it's a fine image, it speaks to me, probably more than a full dandelion clock would, lovely though they are! Enjoy your spaghetti! (We're off to a restaurant in Rustington, then a walk, then to see Tina's dad, he's doing OK, so much better than last Sat. when we were very concerned, some improvement each day since. Things are looking up again!

[Darren Juden]

GREAT shot!!

It has been a tad windy hasn't it?!!!

[Hazel]

@darrenboyj

Thank you! And what do you know? Forgot to put the washing on earlier and it's just finishing and it's starting to RAIN! Very cold wind - well it is nearly Bank Holiday!

[Hazel]

@ivan

Thank you for your thoughtful comments, Ivan. Hope you enjoy your meal out and what good news about Tina's dad.

[Rachel Mackenzie]

Wonderful capture, really like the way you composed this. Hope the spag bol was yummy :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful perspective and details. There sure are a lot of dandelions there. This is a big year for dandelions here, too.

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Very good shot Hazel. And even these have a beauty of their own. It's always the way when you are camera-less!

[Judith Greenwood]

I like them in this phase. I'm a bit jealous as I've taken dozens of of dandelion clocks this week and they've all been rubbish!

[Sheila G]

Lovely shot, like the DOF.

[Louise Davies]

Great shot and lovely caption!

[Pyrrhula]

A beautiful close up , great pov and dof.
My moment of happiness : I woke up this morning and there was heavy rain .windy and become the coldest 23 May ever. And I kow I`ve nothing to do by works ,appointments or responsibility..

[Richard Creese]

Great shot, love the background.

[Karin Hirsch]

Still a great shot, even it the dandelions are all using their little silver umbrellas to fly off

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula

Thanks for encouraging comments, as ever. You did make me smile with your moment of happiness - just chill out!!

[Paula W]

Well Hazel it may not be the shot you set out to achieve but it's a great shot and more original than the whole seed head shots. I agree with @ivan about the passage of time and nature (I couldn't have put it so eloquently myself) Hope the spag bol was up to scratch!

[Ivan]

...and a fav, forgot it! And thank you Paula @paulaw

[Hazel]

@ivan

Many thanks for the fav, always special to get one!

[Hazel]

@paulaw

Paula, thank you for all your comments and interest.

[Hazel]

@judithg

Judith you have no justification at all for being even a bit jealous with all the great shots you take of everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, thankyou!

[Inge]

Great POV, Hazel! And beautifully captured! Great found. Love it!

[Hazel]

@godsloverphotography

Inge, thanks very much for your enthusiasm!

[Rohini Gupta]

Beautiful shot, the delicate stems look lovely. Can we swap the rain and wind for this great heat we have here?

[Gemma]

Fantastic hazel, super focus! fav!

[Hazel]

@gemtumble

thanks very much, Gemma!

[Hazel]

@writingdays

Thank you for your comments, Rohini. It's amazing that nowhere, ever, are we satisfied with the weather we have!!
