A macro photograph of the ripe fruits of a common dandelion flower. The Latin name for this flower is Taraxacum Officinale by the way. The sun softly lights the dandelion fruits, and the background has a lovely green colour. As a result, the dandelion fruits stand out nicely.
Cheers, Johan 🙂

La belleza de lo simple siempre es majestuosa! Sorry, i dont speak english
Thanks! I understand it anyway … at least I think 🙂

Thanks you Cindy!
That is the most attractive dandelion puff I have ever seen. Mostly I yank them out of my yard without a second thought, but this one is pretty. 🙂
Thanks Sarra. If you live in the Alps like I do and are surrounded by alpine meadows you give up on yanking them out as, there are too many. So plenty of opportunity to get a close look and experiment with the macro lens … and it’s not the easiest subject 🙂
fantastic
