I promise think this is the last macro for a few days...
I took my camera out the other evening, before the rain and possible frost,

I was thinking it might be the last time I would have an opportunity to capture them this season.
Fortunately, although the lows reached into the 20s that night,

ReplyDeleteThis is quite perfect. Lovely shape of the dandelion and nice background color. Always love your processing.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy...I just came in from macronizing (is that a word?)my crocii to the "n"th degree...so many pics and now I'm waiting for the battery to recharge...don't you just love macro!
ReplyDeleteHow many zeros in a 'bajillion?' Glad the frost wasn't a killing one. Dandelion fuzz, love that!
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not the last of the macro beauty...you have it down perfect.
ReplyDeleteI covered everything the other night too...just praying though that the flowers don't get blown away with the tornado they say is coming...if my flowers land on your farm, let me know! :)
that's a winner...the texture matches the dandelion perfectly
ReplyDelete1st or last, it's gorgeous! LOVE the colors.

ReplyDeleteLovely! I love dandelions.
ReplyDeleteLove the texture, really makes the dandelion puff beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIsn't great that a photo can make a beauty out of an annoying weed?

ReplyDeleteVery pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour quote at the end...very true. :)
Your macro shots are always nice!

I'm a macroholic...is this a bad thing??? I don't think so. Love your photo!
ReplyDeleteWell what I see in that picture is this - beauty - and I don't see that beauty when I look at them far away - I think of allergies. sandie
ReplyDeleteGreat macro shot, and I like the texture you used. Thanks for hosting Your Sunday Best!
ReplyDeleteReally love this shot! It reminds me of making wishes and watching the dandelion seeds fly away on the wind. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I was photographing dandelions yesterday (with my macro filter). Earlier this week (before I got the stomach flu) I was photographing all the flowers at work.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely better to prepare for the worst, and look at the great shots you got!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW!! Such a pretty macro shot.. I love to see how you edit your photos. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteReally gorgeous, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI always loved blowing the "feathers" off of these when I was a kid! :)
ReplyDeleteAren't dandelions fun tho? Very nicely done. Thank you for stopping by Sanukipity Photography and leaving the kind words.
ReplyDeleteI love macros and this is a lovely composition of the dandelion seed head. I was unaware you had a meme, so will add it to my Meme page. I will join you sometimes but maybe not often as I try to stay offline at weekends.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the details and the texture! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a captivating shot!
