About Dandelions......... · **2 Likes**

.......when they invade our lawns we spent time and money to TRY and get rid of them but than we go out into the wilds and it is a complete different story. It is amazing how many animals depend on them.
Here is a small variety:

All except the first one (Q7) with Bigma, handheld.

Great photos Heinrich, thanks for showing. And you are right on; everyone, me included, has at least once been fascinated by getting to the ground and shooting up at a backlit dandelion seed head. Although if it is on our own lawn we yank it out right after.

great thread Heinrich, I was expecting to view weeds and was treated with wonderful animal photos in the wild. TFS, really enjoyed the views.

**MSL** · 07-14-2015, 07:42 PM

Great nature shots. I'm just enjoying the dandelions and anything else that's chosen to grown in my back yard this year. At least one bird comes almost daily to feed off the flowers or the bugs it finds on them.

Holy moly, where'd that bear come from? Nice animal pics.

**eaglem** · 07-14-2015, 08:11 PM

Even being weeds they have a lot of uses.

Thank you and you are welcome, I have spent considerable time on my hands and knees removing this weed.........

Thank you, I have started to ignore them as well, it's futile anyway.

I like the tall varieties, they're important food sources and great opportunities to find insects to photograph.

**Sailor** · 07-15-2015, 01:41 PM

Wonderful photos, Heinrich - simply first rate with the crisp precision you always bring to your images. Who would have thought that a common, ubiquitous "weed" would have such a profound place in the life's chain? Certainly not me . . . . . . but then I'm a chemist not a zoologist.

Hi Jer and thank you, don't feel bad, I am neither....just bumbling along and discover new stuff.

**luftfluss** · 07-16-2015, 01:47 PM

What a tremendous set! Not only the technical aspects of the photos, but also the display of meaningful interactions between the animals and dandelions... these are more than pretty pictures.

Thank you for posting these, I feel good for viewing them.
