Took this by positioning the dandelion clock right in front of the sun, but I hurt my eyes a bit from the light. They’re fine, but it reminded me to be more careful about photos like this. This was going to be a sequel to Two of Us Against the World, but I decided to focus on the dandelion blocking the sun, as it’s so much brighter. Had to under-expose manually, because the camera didn’t want the sky to be black. This is my finest black-and-white photo since Raindrops. 
Buy a 4*6 copy for $0.95 (USA only). Lustre finish. After adding, go to your shopping cart.

Well taken. Caught your comment on mcawilliams. I liked the two header as well, but something about this one just reminded me of the Neil Young lyric from After the Gold Rush.
‘All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature’s
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature’s
Silver seed to a new home.’
Oh but my that’s from THIRTY EIGHT years ago! Getting old, man. Anyway, enjoyed your silver seeds.

Thanks, Mr. McGivney. Those are some good lyrics there; I’ll have to listen his music some time. I like the “silver seeds” idea. Might have to use it as a title when I come up with another idea involving dandelions.
