This photo from last June was taken just before leaving New Brunswick, Canada, after a week-long photo workshop with Andre Gallant and Freeman Patterson. I passed by this field on my first day in New Brunswick 7 days earlier. Then the field was all yellow. I took numerous shots, but I like this one for the bit of mid-ground dialogue between left and right. I'm not sure why, but the house peeping over the treetops makes me giggle. It has hung in my dining room for a few weeks, and I have also come to enjoy the soft focus of the hillside in the far background. At the camera club they complained about both house and background soft focus. They said I should have tilted the camera down and just taken dandilions. Well, I did that too, and I chose this instead.

I like this one, and yes, with the house peeping. We are so accustomed to the dwellers of houses eradicating dandelions from the view from their windows, it is droll indeed to see the dandelions simply overwhelming the home succumbing on the horizon - overwhelming not out of vengeance, but out of exuberance in their own prettiness.

Yes, dandelions are nothing if not tenacious as their name suggests. Thanks for leaving a comment. Say Hi to my new friend, Helene.
Yes Ted, I like it a lot.
Thanks for visiting this image from long ago, Dick. Although I posted it in Feb of 2007, I took it in June of 2006. I've learned a bit about processing images since, and I wonder if I went back to the original RAW file now and reworked it in Photoshop if I would come out in the same place. Thanks again for your comment.
