I have many dreams, mostly ones one can hardly convey in spoken language. IÂ want nature and peace around me, yet IÂ do not want to relinquish digital photography. IÂ have a Nikon D200 with a very basic lens. I had a Canon 30D too, but what a disappointment. BIO I am 55, an IT consultant and tried my hand at diamond digging, computer programming, being a network & computer technician, web designer, amateur photographer, etc. I am a man of the bush and appreciate simple things. IÂ do photography assignments from time to time. I am privileged to live where IÂ do, (map), a rural area in South Africa where I can hear the lions roar just 12 miles (20km) from where I live. I love this site and the artists uploading their work and I don't think any other site offers this varied depth in artistic skills. Piet

Great picture, very hard to capture these. Love the sun shining in a kind of halo on the left one.

Hello Piet. Looks like you are having fun with your Canon. I really like the one on the left. How wonderful to capture the sun through the dandilion. Such a delicate capture. Thank You...bonita

always interesting to play with these dandelions and a camera :) the first (even tho you didnt manage the halo) is my fav, just pure simplicity. I may have to try this someday too...

I love shots like this! Reminds me almost of a supernova. Dandelions are great subject matter because of their delicate and amorphous structure.

Beautiful, fragile captures that I adore. Sublime work, Oom Piet.

Ag it's pretty! When we were kids, we used to blow the seeds from the stem and then my Gran would get very upset with us! She used to say that if the seeds blow into your eyes, you will turn blind. Old wive's tale if you ask me! Nevertheless, she meant well in her ways! Thanx for the reminder of a pretty great childhood Oom Piet!
