Oh dandelion,
Sun at my feet
Making me smile
Every time we meet.

Oh dandelion,
Leaves so green
Laying near the ground
A sight to be seen.

Oh dandelion,
Your blooms so sunny
Standing up tall
And puff so funny.

Oh dandelion,
My little sun
Great in fields
Or by one.

Oh dandelion,
In spring so small
Hiding in grass
The grass so tall.

Oh dandelion,
In summer proud
Standing tall
Amongst the crowd.

Oh dandelion,
So short in fall
Back to hiding
In the grass so tall.

Oh dandelion,
Gone in winter
And all year
With weed killer.

Just a few macros of dandelions and waterdrops.

Thanks for looking and have a great day

Taken with the D200 and 90mm sigma macro.  I think there was an extension tube on also, but I can't be certain

 Could everyone agree

That no one should be left alone?

Sky Blue Sky. 

 

Just a little bit more.

Most marvelous and enviable is that fecundity of fancy which can adorn whatever it touches, which can invest naked fact and dry reasoning with unlooked for beauty, make flowers bloom even on the brow of the precipice.
-Margaret Fuller-

Got outside today. So windy. Wind is not my friend, but it was very pretty outside.

(This is my first post, so I encourage you to berate me for making mistakes; knowledge gained from embarrassment beats ignorant bliss any day.)

Macro (close-up) photography is the niche I've found. The links below lead to photographs of flowers taken around my neighborhood in coastal Massachusetts by a Nikon Coolpix 4500 digital camera, mostly in manual mode.

The thumbnail is a daffodil.

An ant drinking dandelion wine, so to speak.

The zaftig blossoms of a pea plant growing by the sea.

A poppy has learned the subtle art of mutually beneficial trickery.

Chicory, viewed beneath a camera's lens, seethes with pollen.

Sorry about the poetic descriptions -- I couldn't resist.
