THE CLOCK...

"You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star." quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

 

OR

 

"In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order." quote by Carl Jung

 

From the same Flemish Country garden: Taraxacum, the common name is dandelion (from French dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth").

 

After flowering is finished, the dandelion flower head dries out for a day or two...

The dried petals and stamens drop off, the bracts reflex (curve backwards), and the parachute ball opens into a full sphere.

Finally, the seed-bearing parachutes expand and lift out of it.

The parachute drops off the achene when it strikes an obstacle.

After the seed is released, the parachutes loose their feathered structure and take on a fuzzy, cotton-like appearance, often called "dandelion snow".

 

Another thing I love about being a photographer, you start looking in a 'different' way?

 

Enjoy and make the BEST of every day! Thank you, M, (*_*)
