What a pretty shot of the dandelions. Many years ago we collected the greens and made a salad out of them - it was okay, but way to much trouble collecting and cleaning them to do it again.

I never ate dandelions much, but made a batch of dandelion wine back in the 1970's. It came out pretty good, but it was too flowery for my taste, gave most of it away. I figured out a long time ago that it's better to accept and admire dandelions than to try to do battle with them, and now I look forward to them appearing each spring, and go looking for big fields of them to photograph. Nice capture of the beautiful yellow flowers! Bruce

Carol, this certainly a familar sight at this time of year. Well captured. My mother used to cut them out of the lawn and have them to eat. I never caught on to the taste.

Reminds me its time to get the weed spray out, and sort out a few missed patched in the garden before winter sets in, nice shot of the weed though, the flowers are pretty.
