It's finally spring! A friend took me sailing the other day, and of course I took my camera along. It was too bright on the water to shoot, but afterwards I saw these very tall grasses at the harbor with the setting sun on them. . . . (Explore #386)

The setting sun was low and right in front of me. There were loads of these little fellas battling for existence among all the other wild plants in the meadow. Somehow they seemed to make the most of the sun lighting up like tiny beacons.

 

Araxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae and consists of species commonly known as dandelion. 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.

 

They are native to Eurasia and North America, and two species, T. officinale and T. erythrospermum, are found as commonplace wild flowers worldwide. Both species are edible in their entirety. The 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. Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant. A number of species of Taraxacum are seed-dispersed ruderals that rapidly colonize disturbed soil, especially the common dandelion (T. officinale), which has been introduced over much of the temperate world.

The sun sets on the football stadium at Woodhaven High School. At the end of a very long track meet, this was the gorgeous scene.

Evening walk February 25

As I looked up this evening from my seat on balcony, I saw the sun just before setting time, nestled in this tree. As the time progressed, it went down behind a huge cloud, rather than the mountain in distance.

a wonderful weekend , is searching for

Riedling aus dem Traunsee

I wish I was a fisherman

tumblin' on the seas

far away from dry land

and it's bitter memories

castin' out my sweet line

with abandonment and love

no ceiling bearin' down on me

save the starry sky above

with light in my head

with you in my arms...

i wish i was the brakeman

on a hurtlin fevered train

crashin head long into the heartland

like a cannon in the rain

with the feelin of the sleepers

and the burnin of the coal

countin the towns flashin by

and a night that's full of soul

with light in my head

with you in my arms...

 

And I know I will be loosened

from the bonds that hold me fast

and the chains all around me

will fall away at last

and on that grand and fateful day

I will take thee in my hand

I will ride on a train

I will be the fisherman

With light in my head

You in my arms...

Don't let the title or editing fool you: this was a warm sun setting. But I did like the sort of cold midnight moon effect...

Stunning end to the day, Carlow, Ireland.

Don't even say it ;-)

 

My apologies to those that are offended by my snarking Kinkade.

 

No painted in light here. Just some alterations on the colors and a smidge of texture. An incredible setting sun this past Friday.
