Despite my protests that this picture really does belong to another season, Spring, Brigitte insisted that I consider this splendid specimen “The Last Dandelion of 2010.” Well, all right. The picture indirectly reveals the crowding of our basement. It was taken with the camera held just above the monitor on which this post is being written. But it wasn't the only photo I snapped. I remembered that my trusty little Kodak has a “close up” feature:
Here is the same bloom up close and personal. You might call it the Portrait of a Weed. Everything is present except the eyes, nose, and mouth. But the hairdo is most delicate, don't you agree?
Yes, I am harvesting, but in the case of this dandylion seedhead only to prevent it from its task.... Sorry, Mother Nature, I must not share all your gifts with my neighbors....
