I thought you all might like these photos I took of some dandelions in my yard. I messed with the color saturation and contrast until I go these unworldly dandelions.

Mandi ~ The first photo puts me in the mind of the moon. The second photo puts me in the mind of Sherrie and her Rainbow Connections. The third photo makes me think of yin and yang.

Excellent job on these Mandi!

I like the first one, Mandi. It's too bad dandelions are so invasive - a few here and there (and especially one by itself) are kind of nice.

I like the first one best, too. You could make a triptych of three framed photos (kind of like the framed flower art in black-and-white Target sells) of blown-up versions of the dandelions, and hang them on the wall. It would create a sophisticated look for a room.

Hello :o),

I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 4,700 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.

With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)

As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
