As Darrell and I walked back across the campus after a session with the WIU Hot Shots photography club in the University's photography studio, we spied a stand of dandelion stalks softly lit by the setting sun. Neither of us could resist pulling our cameras out and taking some shots. This image of one going to seed is probably only the second dandelion picture that I have posted to flicker in the last couple of years. To obtain the shot, I used the articulating LCD (instead of the viewfinder) while holding the camera down near the ground. It was processed in Lightroom 5 using a radial filter.
My attitude towards these prolific and tenacious weeds has radically changed since moving out into the countryside of western Illinois. I used to fruitlessly try to eradicate them from the lawn... but now, because of the sheer overwhelming number of them and the huge size of the lawns out here, I am content to keep them mowed down with the rest of the grass. :D
