A Dandelion Umbrella

Wallpaper Description:

I took this dande1ion photo back in May. The dandelion is by a small woodpile in my backyard.

I like this photo a lot for two reasons. One is that the dandelion is almost ready to turn into a white "fuzzy". You can tell by the way the flower is puckered upwards.

The other reason I like it is because of the lush green grass around it. Right now during this last week of June, the grass looks like a stubby mowed field of yellow straw, because we need rain so badly. It's hard for me to believe what a difference 5 weeks can make!

Hopefully we'll get some rain soon. At the moment it seems like every in the midwest is either getting too much, or not enough of it!

PS. Dandelions can be used as wine or tea. It's leaves can be eaten cooked or raw leaves can be put into salads.

PPS. Here are two photo walls that I took in my backyard at about the same time:
