dandelion



I saw this giant dandelion in the Stuttgart area in Germany, it was built as the symbol of the village and it is a very happy sight. The tiny blue metal parts are moved by the wind and the sun plays with them too.

The wonderful Oreneta surprised me this morning by sharing this beautiful award with me, because in her words I am a blogger ..."who takes the most amazing photos". Thank you very, very much Oreneta. It makes me very happy to read that although it sort of means performance pressure at the same time! at any rate I am better with pictures than with the written word so I will stop here because I have to go to my gym class and I'd better go out to look for interesting subjects to photograph...!

    Mar, you deserve the award! And I was thinking about the dandelion "i wonder if you can blow on it" - and then you said the tiny rods blow in the wind! How clever! :)

    Ahh, I love that! I haven't seen anything like it where we live. Maybe I need to look harder. And yes, your photos are wonderful, Mar!
