Dandelion

My first entry in The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge, this photograph captures the essence of the colour yellow. While the colour yellow can range from a dark ochre to a pale cream, the quintessential shade of yellow is the one in the above photograph. It is the shade of yellow which comes to mind immediately when someone says “yellow”.

The flower in the photograph is a dandelion, and a prime example of one at that. It is almost perfect in its shape and no petals and broken or bent. Once again the perfection of nature expresses itself.
