Weekly Photo Theme – Dandelions

It was my turn to select the weekly theme and I returned to a subject that was at the beginning of my photographic journey… dandelions! Long time readers will remember a few posts about dandelions. I hope this one will show some growth in my photography skills. Dandelions are a convenient subject as my yard is usually quite full of them this time of year. Although I have been exploring and capturing a few dandelion portraits the past few days I was able to get the three ‘keepers’ for this week one beautiful night after work. I did have to crawl on my stomach in the yard to get the good angle. lol

Over on Google+, one of the photography themes is Dandelion Poker. That theme is one I participated in when I first started my photography journey. I learned quite a lot about my old point & shoot camera as I explored my yard and the numerous dandelions it produced. I’m sure there is more to learn..
