We recently had a professional landscaper re-do our lawn . . . the dandelions will be gone next year. I think I'll miss them.

I've posted this photo for another reason. In recent months Knoxville has experienced 3 tragic events gaining national attention in the media. A church shooting. A school shooting. And yesterday, a mall shooting. 3 very violent acts. All resulting in deaths of innocents. Fine folks who didn't deserve to die in such a terrible way.
Life can change in an instant . . . like the dandelion plant which loses seeds with a poof of air. I send out prayers of healing and comfort for my city. . . for Knoxville.

Thats a great picture. Tragic events in Knoxville thats for sure. You never think about things happening like that in your town. Its always someplace else.
(((Hope)))Beautiful post and picture for a day of healing. Prayers sent to those involved. So sad.
So very sad. You are right, even in our little town we have had this kind of tragic event. All my best to you and all of Knoxville.
Hope, a powerful metaphor.
And yes, you will perhaps miss your personal dandelion crop, but never fear ... you won't have to go to far afield to renew your acquaintanceship :)
Thanks for your visit.
Sad events to bear.
Dandelions are a love /hate relationship, we love to hate them. Fantastic photo, though!
You did a fine job of capturing the wonderful geometry of this pesky plant's flower!
Sorry to hear all the sadness in your community. It makes me want to make a wish and blew the seeds away myself!
Very nice shot. I like that
Sending love to Knoxville. This is a beautiful tribute. I'm so deeply saddened by these events.
lovely macro. what has happened to our town? sigh.
This is a beautiful photograph, you captured it so well. As your post captures what so many of us from here are feeling. Thank you the post.
Super feel to the picture.
A beautiful photo. so sorry to hear of all of the senseless killings in Knoxville. No community deserves to endure such sadness.
