Yellow Salsify

When this plant goes to seed, it looks like a dandelion on steroids.

That's so beautiful. I love the way seed heads like that look. So whimsical.

Ah David..You know I love your macros. I wonder if we would be so hell bent on spraying pesticides all over if we took some time to look at the beauty of even a dandelion... I am late getting around due to my Mom's illness ....Michelle

Excellent! I found one of those in the tall grass at our place, and it took me a while to find out what it was. Your macro is gorgeous.

Thanks to all for the kind comments. Michelle, since I've gotten into photography I've started seeing things I never appreciated before.
