So I am doing my walk, in an on and off drizzle, looking for something to photograph, and I happen to notice a single Dandelion all in white, in the grass next to the sidewalk. I kept walking. A Dandelion. Who cares. About 30 feet later, I turned around, walked back, and used my telephoto lens to zoom in for a close-up of the top of it. I could not believe my eyes! What was I thinking, walking by this magnificent miracle of nature? Look at the delicate structure. It is an engineering marvel the way it is constructed, and so delicate and light, that when a wind comes along, all of these little white broom-like structures, because they are so light, will take flight and another Dandelion will take root somewhere. You MUST click on the image to see it in more detail!
Intricate flower and great photo. What I love best is the way your described the life of a dandelion. Thanks
