Vertical lines

2014-06-08-2388

These pretty, light yellow flowers remind me of summer and I really like how they grow upwards on the stem in small bunches. The thin stalks in the background, which looks like lavender, seem to create a really interesting, textured background of vertical lines with an added sense of movement – I can almost feel the wind swishing through the stalks.

Dandelion seeds

I’ve seen some amazing photos of dandelions seeds and have tried a number of times to try and capture them on my camera. I quite like this attempt but I will keep trying as I’m confident I can get better and much closer. The tricky part is making the sure the seeds are mostly intact and that it’s not too windy as the big head of seeds on a thin stalk makes the whole thing wave about!
