    It is pretty amazing how the dandelion can be pretty, they were really bad here this year. We have them all over the place!

    Wow I didn't even recognize that as a dandi until you said it was!

    My Significant Other is a landscaper, and he doesn't use herbicides, so he will often spend an entire afternoon de-dandelion-ing a lawn by hand! They aren't very welcome in conversation in our household!

    Great shots of the apple blossom and the dandelion. I do all my shots with a standard lens and a telephoto. A macro lens is on my wish list though and I think I know the one I am going to get.

    Everything looks more interesting in macro, I think. Flowers especially!
    Nice job!

    Have fun at the bloggers meet up!

    wilsonc~I do all my photos with my Canon PowerShot SX 20 IS. It has a macro setting AND a super macro setting. I really like the super macro setting! Once you get your macro lens, you're going to have so much fun!
