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

Dandelion
Had to go to the city today for a meeting, and while walking up Sixth avenue saw this fountain. There are actually two of them in front of one of the buildings. I have seen these fountains before, but today they kind of jumped out at me. My first thought was that this looked like a dandelion, just after it turns all white before the wind blows all the seeds away. So I took a picture of it, of course. That way I could share it with you. And you might be amused. Or astounded. Or none of the above.
I've always wanted to shoot this facing out in the other direction toward the intersection at night using a long exposure to get the moving car lights behind it. I wonder how that would turn out.
ReplyDeleteLove it. It does remind me of a dandelion. Maybe you should go back to NY and take a photo as "Photodude Images" suggests. :-)

It does look like a dandelion!
ReplyDeleteLooks refreshing for a hot summer day...bsk
As many times as I've seen that, I've never thought of it as a dandelion. And now that you've pointed it out, it doesn't look like anything else. Interesting how our brains work. Wonderful photo.
