Wind Blown

A little wind and these dandelion seeds are off on a new adventure, each seeking its own new life.  If they land and take root in my yard, it will be a short life.  I do not tolerate dandelions in my grass.  Even so, I still marvel at the close-up beauty of the dandelion seed pod.  It looks like a pin cushion at its core and the intricacies of the delicate wind catching white strands weaves a gorgeous pattern in nature.  Each stem full of ready-to-fly seeds takes me back to my childhood memories of picking them, blowing all the seeds off and watching they fly away in the gentle breeze.  Just stay out of my yard.......
