Description

I associate dandelion seed heads with summer -- but on a recent walk in the woods, there were plenty of dandelions in full bloom, and plenty more already at the seed head stage. I brought one home to photograph, for PG101 "Macro/Close Up" Theme.

Amazing detail, Chris, and I love the red background. I think this is the year of the dandelion in my neck of the woods, they'll be turning to seeds soon! #11585409
