Dandelions

A weed is but an unloved flower. (Ella Wheeler Wilcox)

How can the dandelion be considered a weed when its beauty is undeniable? The bright yellow flower is one of the first to welcome spring to the joy of pollinators, but I am especially drawn to the intricate design of their fluffy white seed heads.

Photographing flowers from different perspectives and at varying times of day is such an interesting study.
