I started by taking pictures of a little bit of fluff. I think it was a seed from a milkweed plant, although those are just blooming now, so it seems a bit early. Perhaps it was from something else. Then I photographed the flowers on an Egyptian walking onion (<em>Allium<\/em> \u00d7 <em>proliferum<\/em>) growing in my herb garden. When I turned around I noticed a dandelion (<em>Taraxacum<\/em> sp.) growing in the lawn (not just one, actually, but this is the only one I photographed). It had gone to seed and most of the seeds had been blown away by the wind to torment our neighbors (or possibly to continue tormenting us, or course).<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to photograph it in a way that was a little different. I got down on the ground and looked up at the seeds still remaining on the plant. I had my 100mm macro lens with a 25mm extension tube which together is a bit long, but I was able to get below the seeds and still see through the viewfinder. I don&#8217;t know that it&#8217;s a great picture, but I&#8217;m pleased enough with it. It&#8217;s a different view, if nothing else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was out in the back yard after work today and looking for things to photograph.
