Ode to the dandelion


Ever since I've had children I've slowly grown more fond of the dandelion. They are such an icon of childhood. Or maybe an icon of a good childhood. For me the image conjures up feelings of innocence and small little summer scenes... like lazing around in the grass in bare feet... making princess crowns... a young child bringing a bouquet to their mom (as was the case with these particular dandelions). And really, if you can forget the fact that you've been told they're a weed your whole life, they are actually kind of pretty.

For someday...
