well, that's just dandy ...

[linking up with Monaspicturesque for Friday Floral Loving]

 Floral Love





I know it only seems like yesterday I was bemoaning the never ending winter.
No, wait - actually I was pretty good with the cooler weather, it was the Holy-Sybil multiple personality temperatures that had me screaming whiplash.





Well, guess who came to dinner? 
Yes, that would be the dandelions.



My poor tulips waved the white flag and said
"xoxo,
see ya next year!"







and in the blink of an eye the yard filled with these.






and our mail box filled with offers from lawn services eager to give our yard chemo therapy.

  4. Blow and make a wish! We used to love doing this after we caught a dandelion or 'fairies' as we called them! Your images have taken me back to my childhood, thankyou x

  5. My yard is full of them too. My daughters were running around blowing them all over last night. :) Beautiful captures!

  6. Is it bad that I like dandelions? And we barely ever even mow the lawn because that is the goats job. But whether you like them or not, you did get some awesome macros!

  7. Perfect perfect perfect! I can't wait to get the dandelions come up and "die" to try this. These are so great. I think I need to feature you on my tiny new FB page asap :)
    Much appreciation to you for sharing your beautiful work on Floral Love ♥
