7. A perfect dandelion. Just glorious in its simplicity. We take them for granted.

A little masterpiece so easily overlooked. But if you stop for a moment and just focus on one of them, just ponder their beauty, a simple dandelion becomes a work of great art.

You could frame this photo and hang it on the wall!

Or use this photo in a set of cards (postcards OR regular folded cards), and give them as gifts. Everybody you care about would absolutely LOVE them - ESPECIALLY knowing that YOU took this photo! (If you felt like it, you could add “photo by “ in small letters with your name added, discretely on the other side.) ANY local printer could do it.
