This is one of two posts today. In my other blog 32 Pages, I just reviewed a book called Sidewalk Flowers, and because of the subject matter, I am inspired to take photos of dandelions, that much maligned but beautiful (and useful) weed that is everywhere at the moment. Like the kid in the book, I think of them as flowers, and I don’t quite understand the hostility they incur, especially among the generously lawned. I think its best if we learn to embrace the dandelion, since it is virtually impossible to eradicate. Also, they feed the bees before the rest of the slack-ass flowers bloom in spring, so for that alone, we should be appreciative. Here’s a few photos from today. More to come.
