BUT photos on Flickr

Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. They are native to Eurasia and North America, but the two commonplace species worldwide, T. officinale and T. erythrospermum, were introduced from Europe and now propagate as wildflowers.

Both species are edible in their entirety.T he common name dandelion (from French dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth") is given to members of the genus. Like other members of the Asteraceae family, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators.

Nobody but you. by Just...Eve (Eve Nightfire)

🎧 Hear what I feel ► to play 🎧

🎧 The love of my life's version 🎧

I don't wanna live without you

I don't wanna even breathe

I don't wanna dream about you

Wanna wake up with you next to me

I don't wanna go down any other road now

I don't wanna love nobody but you

Lookin' in your eyes now, if I had to die now

I don't wanna love nobody but you

You

Nothin' But Weeds by Sharon

Was unable to do spring cleanup or planting this year. Couldn't even find anyone to hire. Therefore, we have nothing but weeds. I did my best early one morning to enjoy it anyways.

foraging at the edge of the Ariporo River in Llanos Orientales in Colombia.

This river is a part of the Orinoco River basin.

A shy species that is found in shallow water or on banks of rivers. When alarmed it flies only a short distance most of the time.

The patterns on the wings in flight are very beautiful.

Both of these duckies were gifts from my SIL who knows how much I love macros and duckies— perfect, right? The tiny ducky fits on a dime— there’s a size verification shot and a set-up shot for this posting in my photostream.

Small, But Deadly by Wes Iversen

83 50

"Merlins are small, fierce falcons that use surprise attacks to bring down small songbirds and shorebirds," according to allaboutbirds.org. Maybe that explains why I spotted this Merlin perched high in the treetops at Chicago's Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary, a place where lots of songbirds pass through during Spring migration. The scientific name for these predators, which are only about the size of a pigeon, is Falco columbarius.

Nobody said it would be easy, but smiling might lighter that weight inside the chest. No one said you could be strong all the time, but smiling maybe you learn to deal with your weakness in the best possible way. by Yuri Encargues

181 10

No one said that tears do not escorreriam by the face, but smiling maybe you can use those tears as spiritual cleansing and let it rain. Rain until the sun reappears and overflow you from light. No one said that you would be able to see clearly everything around you, but smiling maybe you will rediscover the path after tripping a few times. Nobody said it would be easy and its not!.

Last but not leat we arrive at the former small fishing village of Arromanches-les-Bains.

After the invasion this village turned into a busy logistic centre, due to the construction of the artificial "Mulberry harbor".

All Allied troops were supplied frome here.

The remains of this harbor are still visible off the coast.
