Every day when I go for a neighborhood walk I take my camera and look for beauty. Sometimes I photograph magnolia blossoms or lilies or iris — which are indeed beautiful. But I am also enamored with dandelions whose yellow faces smile up at me from the edges of my neighbor’s yards. Such an ordinary plant — a weed? a flower? I have gathered small bouquets of them to put on the window sill above my sink. They are so cheerful and a reminder of a time several years ago when my daughter and granddaughters were visiting. The 4 year old picked a small bouquet of dandelions and gave them to her mother.
