Monochrome Dandelions

mondaymono_08june20

If you see a dandelion as a weed, you’ll spray it. If you see it as a flower, you’ll draw it close, turn it this way and that, and become lost in the colossal burst of slender golden petals that spew sunshine into the darkest of souls. And so, how many things have we sprayed that could have illuminated our souls if we would have let them be more than what we let them be? ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

Stages of Dandelion!

Since we talked much about the beauty of Dandelion flower at various stages of life cycle.  I decided to collect and present photos from my collection.

Change isn’t just one thing,
just one time,
just one big revelation.
Change occurs in stages,
and phases,
which each add depth,
color,
character, and
create a multidimensional,
multifaceted you.
~Doe Zantamata
The name: “Dandelion” is an English corruption of the French name for this plant: “dent de lion” meaning “lion’s tooth”, a reference to the tooth-like serrations on the plant’s leaves. (via uncle Google)
The photographs are from my wordpress archive.

Nurturing Thursday 85: Extra mile

On last Sunday I visited Ole Bull Museum Lysøen” in a small island. Before going into the museum we took a tour along the well marked trails on the island. There are thousands of trees. Walking along the trails was a pleasure. There I saw a very special dandelion plant with a nice fresh flower among the densely populated trees. In need of proper sunshine the plant has streched out on the ground. I was impressed and got idea for Becca’s “Nurturing Thursday” Theme.
