278: Dandelion metamorphous

I mentioned last weekend that I would come back to the garden shrubbery - so here I am. Love that in this photo all 3 stages of the dandelions' life have been captured. On a brilliantly sunny day, perfect for drying clothes, just under the washing line grows this little patch: new dandelion buds, sunny yellow flowery ones and in their final stages tufty white globes, just waiting to be blown away by little children.

251: Dandelions on summer breezes

After a day of much walking, sightseeing, shopping and chatting, Melanie and I headed up one of Zurich's bigger hills overlooking the city to share a small aperitif - champagne! What delicious views, weather and company. I was delighted to find bunches of dandelions on the hillside and couldn't resist asking Melanie to blow one of these tufty globes into the breeze. With the evening light and the seeds dancing out of the picture I was very pleased with this result!
