    Sometimes I think I would lose my head if it wasn’t attached. I had commented on this but I must not have said add comment. WELL I am glad I came back to claim it as a fav. I LOVE this. The close up is just stunning and the title perfect. It takes me back to days of sitting in the grass and blowing these feathery wisps all over the yard….and my dad say
    E L I Z A B E T H!!!!! C U T T H A T O U T!!!!! THOSE ARE JUST WEEDS. Can’t you see I’m trying to get rid of them. lol

    Wow, that’s definately the best dandellion picture I’ve ever seen. It just so georgous, did you use layers to get the seed pods so beautifully dispersed or did you just blow on it and capture the drift.. either way the image is fabulous.
    Congratulations on your well deserved Solo Exhibit. Love the work shown there as well.
