I have seen spring move forward quicker in many parts of the world, and we find ourselves in a delightful transition where the air is filled with anticipation and warmth. Dandelions have joyfully taken over many places, transforming the landscape into a radiant sea of vibrant yellow, even on a cloudy day that might cast a gray shadow over other flora. These resilient flowers, with their cheerful hues, symbolize hope and renewal, reminding us that beauty can thrive even in adversity. If I don’t share these now, they will remain in my folder unused, lost among forgotten files rather than celebrated for their striking presence during this joyous season. It’s an encouraging push to capture the moment and embrace the delight that spring brings forth, inspiring me to weave these thoughts into words before they beautifully fade away.

Ritva, thank you for helping me start my stay with a smile after seeing your beautiful yellow dandelion images!
Happy to be at service 😂
I meant to say “start my day”!
Whatever else may be happening around this world of ours . . . these harbingers of spring will tell us to stop, look, smile and quietly wait for a happier day . . .
Eha, you are right, we need to appreciate the small things.
You’ve created a striking set of images of a flower that many dismiss as a weed! The one you chose as an opener is especially stunning and I also particularly love the third one in your gallery, with the out of focus field and delicate branch in the foreground 🙂
Sarah, it is a weed. And also a used as a cooking oil
Gorgeous celebration of spring flowers!
Thanks Brad
I have never seen so many dandelions in one place. These pics are beautiful. 😊
Thanks, we have three fields full of it around us. The do make oil from it for cooking
Amazing! 😊
I’m so glad you’ve done another Colour post! Every one of these is so striking, even though every one is a ‘weed’.
it is a weed, that looks great and the bees like it
Dandelions help us smile, except when their on your manicured lawn! Thanks for the beautiful start to my day.
our lawn is full of them, glad we have a mower 😂
Beautiful collection of photos. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such vast amounts of dandelions in close proximity. In the UK they are seen very much as a weed. Nice to see them in a different light & celebrated.
Beautiful pictures!
Thanks Lynette
Beautiful shots
Well! Did I hear you say yellow, Ritva! That colour brightens the day
