Dandelion

Let's get this straight right away - this dandelion is NOT growing on my lawn... I went for a walk around Sea Cliff with Jo Anne and I spotted this down near the water, so I stopped to photograph it. I was thinking I wanted to show the whole flower, or whatever they call it when it has gone to seed. It looked nice - this perfect white ball against the green weeds out-of-focus behind it. But I cropped into the image to see how it looked, and it seemed so much more dramatic, so I have chosen to show this version. What an astounding thing this flower is, with all its detail and delicacy.
It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

The pattern reminds Sam of a globular star cluster or of an explosion of fireworks. Funny how patterns in nature are so often similar... .
A whole bowl of Cheerios fell to the kitchen floor- same pattern, but not so pretty... .
Very cool perspective.
It is funny how when I first saw this, I envisioned it as a photograph showing the whole flower, and some background. But it is always worth trying some cropping to see if I can create something different than what I first thought.
