For Mellow Yellow, a closeup of a dandelion in my frontyard, this week.
And a Macro of the same flower, for Macro Monday.
I got all up-close and personal, because I wanted to see thecurls on the petals ala PJ.
Macro Monday is the brain-child of one of my fave photographers, Lisa. Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or close-up) photo, post it on your blog, and let Lisa know you're playing.
Mello Yellow Monday, brought to us by Drowsey Monkey.If you want to participate, just post a photo with a little or a lot of yellow.
that is so neat, who would have thought a "weed" could look so pretty...

Too cool!!! Love the macro!!
ReplyDeleteOften the most common flowers are the most beautiful. The humble dents-de-lion is one ot those and you have done full justice to it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Beauty is everywhere, right!Blossom Blooms
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yellow flower! Love the photo!

You even make a dandelion look good. We will be seeing them soon enough! Beautiful macro's.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful can a dandelion be? You have proved it. Maybe some day we'll have some to replace all this SNOW !
ReplyDeleteB.
Beautiful ! I wished we had flowers blooming here too !
ReplyDeleteYeah, the curls are visible. Aren't they lovely. Nice choice of MYM entry.
ReplyDeleteI can see that you are into photo memes. I would appreciate it if you would join "Smiley Sunday" at clixbucks.com. See you around.
Oh wow who would have guessed a dandelion could be such a pretty flower. Great shot. =) Hope you have a great Monday.
ReplyDeleteWoW ..very nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteEvery flower is a soul blossoming in nature!
Dandelions have beautiful flowers!
I'm so impressed at how you got this shot without the color being overpowering. I can't seem to get it right.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see them again!!! Lovely shot Jan!!
ReplyDeleteI should have joined Mellow Yellow too this week!!
At this point in the winter I am ready for dandelions! They really are quite pretty aren't they? Too bad we wage war on them.
ReplyDeleteVery nice macros.
You make that look so beautiful. Nice pictures.
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I have never seen a dan-de-lion so close up! They are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

jan, so glad you came over for a visit. i will take time tonight to read through your blog. i love to find new people!
ReplyDeletethe macro is incredible, especially the little curls and their shadows
ReplyDeleteI Love dandies! Lovely yellow images...
ReplyDeleteA wonderful picture! I'm longing for this great yellow spring colour!
ReplyDeletei like the way there are wider petals, and narrower ones, and they all curl!! yes, i know dandelions are composite fowers, and therefore each 'petal' is really a flower!
ReplyDeletethe freeway flowers are neat, too
i have never let my narcissus go to seed so have never seen the pods before
and lizzie does look very alert! my dogs have to protect me from the evil squirrels, but tend to ignore other creatures!
Hi Jan,
ReplyDeleteI found you by going to Mary's site. I thought I visited everyone on last week's list and I never found you.
Well I found you now. This is a wonderful mellow yellow and a great Macro also.
Thank you so much for dropping in on me last week. I am so sorry it took me this long to get here.
I haven't began visiting everyone yet. I have just been incredibly swamped here in real life.
Great Mellow Yellow.
Happy Monday,
Jackie:-)
A dandelion in your yard? your so lucky to have one. Love the Macro as well,Maybe a cup of tea from the dandelion?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! I'd love to see a dandelion!! Hoping for spring to come very soon!
ReplyDeleteThey really are pretty when you get that close!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I love the color.
ReplyDeleteI guess you have the comments cut off on your other blog but I wanted to say that your Mother looks terrific!!
It's so pretty!I just love that bright yellow flower.
ReplyDeleteJan, you don't know how lucky you are to have dandelions! :)
ReplyDeleteDandelions tend to take over wherever they land, but they're also such wonderful survivors in the worst of circumstances. In your frontyard now - sigh, here we'll have to wait for about 2 more months for them. Cute, perky pictures!
