I was watching my little hero in most things, Sage, playing in the dandelions. She was in search of the biggest flowers she could find to make her mother a special bouquet (Niki is recovering from knee surgery). Sage is a fellow artist, so when there is an opportunity I try to encourage her to look at things closely. We talked about the many petals in the dandelion and the subtleties of yellows in the petals. I had to laugh because after that I became suddenly fascinated with this most humble yet beautiful flower... that most of us call weeds.
That Is incredible! Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteImagine all the dandelions.....

Ever notice how children love dandelions?
ReplyDeleteI'm still singing by the way.lol
Hi Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI am always puzzled that people think of dandelions as weeds. I love them, we eat them, they are gorgeous. Enjoy the weekend! xo
Lovely images Shanna. Sage sure does love the little beauties... dandelions, bees, birds. Her world is full of beauty and I love that she recognizes it. Thank you for encouraging her in every way.
ReplyDeleteI too spent a good time laying in the grass recently analyzing the architecture of the dandelion and all it's different stages of life. so vast and self-sufficient. weeds or not, they are beautiful.
