Beautiful glowing Dandelion. Every year I keep a few plants in our garden for culinary purposes. The young chicory flavoured leaves, which are rich in vitamins and minerals, are a pleasant addition to Spring salads. |

Hello, pretty sky shot with the pigeons in flight. The dandelion images are lovely, they would make the bees very happy. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your blog! Hope we stay friends! It is really - and I do not lie - exceptionelle and makes hope and joy! P.
ReplyDeleteThe artistic rendition of the dandelion is just beautiful. The real ones too really are quite lovely. It helps if you can think of them as wildflowers and not weeds. All your pictures are wonderful; it looks like a happy spring!
ReplyDeleteVery nice portrait of the Dandelion... Lots of them in our back yard! Thanks for visiting my site--- flowers are Dogwood blossoms. -Bill
ReplyDeletewonderful captures - every single one! The dandelions are so pretty - it's a shame they can be such a nuisance.

ReplyDeleteGreat set of shots - that cat has mischief on its mind I think! Also, I like the insects in the dandelions.

Hi,Ruby
ReplyDeleteThose photos of your dandelion are beautifully taken by your lens. They are shining in the light.The pain with beads and stitching is wonderful!! Have a good weekend.
Love your creativity with the dandelion. I hope you have a lovely weekend
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots!!! Interesting abstract too!!! Thanks for visiting at Photosmusings.com!!!
ReplyDeleteI spied a cat drinking out of the birdbath in the middle of the night. Good eye to spy the cloud with a wing. The wild primrose is a lovely plant, flowers + textured leaves. The dandelion is a beauty, too, and I love your inspired depiction of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty woodland Primrose - much nicer than the new highly coloured ones.
ReplyDeleteThe Dandelion is a much under rated flower - look at the beauty of those delicate petals.
Funnily enough I wanted to do a Dandelion post last week - my garden has been full of them all Summer, but when I went out with my camer I found only one!
We are now into Autumn in New Zealand, so growth has slowed down and the leaves are turning beautiful golden colours.
Happy Sunday

Gorgeous close ups! Dandelions are such happy flowers. I love the primroses as well. Take care!
ReplyDeleteWonderful flower photos and the coolest pigeons I've ever seen! :)
ReplyDeleteThe macros are gorgeous, but I like especially the third photo and the lovely petals of the primrose.
Thank you for sharing your art. Have a lovely new week!
Love the stitched and beaded version of the dandelion! You captured the real dandelion in a magnificent way! The wild primrose is so pretty. Many thanks for adding these captures to SEASONS! And wishing you a beautiful and happy week ahead:)
ReplyDeleteYou move into the heart of a flower, closer, closer, then through a sliding door into another world, of flower plus imagination, plus your craft and skill. A fantastic journey!

Sometimes birds can fly out of places and scare you! Love the flower photos!
ReplyDeleteI also eat the dandelions, love them! Love how you let it inspire your art, you sure did portray it's wonderful spirit!
ReplyDeleteWhat cheery color! I like the little critter on the flower and the wispy cloud certainly does look like a wing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Love it!
ReplyDeleteExcelente trabalho e belas fotografias.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.
I keep dandelions too! And butercups and daisys and clovers :) I love them. They are such happy flowers. I love your artwork. It looks like a close up, macro image of the world inside of the flower.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely flowers. I like that first shot.
ReplyDeleteBoa tarde, selecção de lindas fotos, as mesmas através da nitidez mostram os belos detalhes.
ReplyDeleteBoa semana,

I see dandelions in my sleep. I'm addicted to pulling them out with a new-to-me tool. I remember, though, that my aunt loved the new leaves of the early spring dandelions in salad too.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my virtual walk through your beautiful garden as I learned about adding dandelions leaves into my salads. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos but my favorite is the yellow dandelion painting with beads ...
ReplyDeleteAnyone who also loves dandelions is a kindred spirit to me. :-) They are an important early pollinator plant in my garden and the leaves are a good source of vitamin C in a salad. I've never thought about eating the flower petals though...
ReplyDeleteThe neighbourhood cats try to sneak in my backyard, after the songbirds on the feeders unfortunately and I've let the dog out many times to send them packing.
beautiful world you share. :) Will soon be mine too I hope. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, I liked a lot. You have a new follower from Spain. Best regards from http://faunacompacta.blogspot.com.es/
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!

Beautiful pic of the pigeons. The primrose is lovely. Who could think the dandelions would make sure beautiful images. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the dandelion. Yellow flowers are so cheerful. We would love it if you would follow us on google friend connect, and I would certainly follow you as well. I hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.

Lovely to see how your study of the dandelion leads to your mixed media piece. And the artwork itself is gorgeous.
