One morning I went out to enjoy the birds and the warm sun rising in the sky. As I was wandering around the meadow, I found lots of subjects to photograph. While I was taking a picture of a poison oak flower, I noticed a bit of movement and on a leaf nearby, I found this little friend peering at me. I got to take this one picture before he hopped into the grass and was gone. Isn't it wonderful when you can get a nice picture with just one take?! This image was taken in April, 2012.

Don't you just love to blow on dandilion fluff?! I think every child has loved to find these and make a wish before blowing. I never realized that dandelions aren't the only flowers that make these fluffy balls made of a globe of seeds. In fact, there are countless flowers which distribute their seeds this way, and it makes sense...the seeds become airborne and can travel quite a distance on a windy day. I have a difficult time resisting from taking pictures of these fluffy balls because they are so cool looking, whether a perfect ball or with just a couple of seeds left, like this one! :) This image was taken in April, 2012.
