10/366: Seedhead From Above

10/366: Seedhead From Above
Using a macro lens reveals a fascinating new perspective, and will often surprise you with these fresh views. How common, boring and ugly dandilions are...to most people, anyway. Detested, yanked out, and scorned, these enemies to the lawn perfectionist are actually quite beautiful, when seen through a macro lens. I quickly fell in love with these flowers, and all others which make these seedheads of parachutes. This was a picture I took in May of 2012, to show how exquisitely perfect these lovely seedheads truly are.

Explored on January 10, 2012. Highest placement, #10.

I can only agree..not only the seed heads, the flowers photographed with the macro lens from the side look entirely different.
