These are such beautiful things.. have you ever looked closely at each delicate little seed and it’s amazing carrier. An inspiring natural work of art. Your photo’s pretty too, love the depth and can’t believe how many dandelions there are there, just waiting for a breath of air…
Pretty! It’s been blowy here so most of the dandelions seem to have lost their clocks unfortunately (either that or someone’s been secretly blowing them all!)
But the extent of them is implied by the background. It is a photo of layers. Very very clever. Now if you tell me it was a quick snap whilst you kept one eye on the children I shall grump rather a lot. I would have been on my hands and knees taking multiple pics for nothing half so good :)
Thank you! I did take a few don’t worry! Twas a boiling hot day, and lots of walkers were giving me strange looks as I sat on the floor to take it! Some of them obviously thought I was German as well as they weren’t and I could understand what they were saying!! :)

Wonderful shot. I’m not the biggest fan of dandelions, but close up they are rather lovely.
bavaria says
Thank you very much :)
Erica Price says
Fab shot. They are so pretty in some ways, but such thugs in others.
bavaria says
Thank you! I have a special root killing tool… You can borrow it if you like! :)
sarah says
love this, your depth of field is perfect. I dont think ive even seen so many dandelions in the same place. Im surprised you got past it at all!!
bavaria says
Thank you Sarah! The Germans don’t seem to mind lowenzahn (dandelions, which translates as lions teeth!) as much as we do! :)
Frankie Parker says
Cool photo, i don’t get the” blow on it for the time”.. Another quirky english thing perhaps????
bavaria says
It’s a dandelion clock! How many blows it takes to clear all the seeds is what time it is!! :)
Louise Edwards says

bavaria says
I am going to take my two after school next week one afternoon! Should keep them quiet for a while! :)

MsXpat says
Lovely photo.
bavaria says
Thank you :) There were so many I couldn’t get a pic that did the field justice, so I settled for just one! :)

Midlife Singlemum says
Blow on it see what time it is.
bavaria says
It was thankfully school time. With that amount of dandelions we would have been there for the whole day!! :)
