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...!
