Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 119

I've never understood why people hate dandelions or daisies or buttercups. Sure, if you want a perfect green croquet lawn then they might be a scourge but otherwise why hate something so spontaneous and hardy and beautiful?

I'm particularly pleased with how the stamina came out in this shot, especially when you consider that I was shooting it with a lens that really isn't meant for this kind of work at all.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
