Dandelions Galore

Did I mention I'm taking a photography class? Well, lesson one got me a little addicted to selective focus. So I opened the aperture wide and gathered my girls who gathered a few dandelions. First I took some in the backyard of Faith and her sweet friend Gracie.





When I saw this photo with the glorious single dandelion fluff floating in the air, I knew I needed more dandelions.



So Olivia and I headed out in the evening, and a small bribe convinced her that she would be able to survive an hour in an itchy sweater that was too tight in the armpits. We hit the dandelion jackpot here...



and got these photos before sunset...






And this last one has no dandelions but I LOVE it.



"I'd rather have dandelions on my table than diamonds around my neck." Unknown

PS- Really, it is dandelions galore over here. A couple days after the former pictures were taken I found my big metal bowl filled with what I would call dandelion stew. Olivia told me that it was actually medicine.
