Dandelions.

These captive dandelions were the first to flower in our garden; I’m now posting this eleven days late. It is interesting (to me) to note that the grey/green stains on the paint work are actually lichen.
 
Passers-by must have wondered what I was doing grovelling in the dirt with a contraption made up of four scaffolding poles; I doubt if they would have noticed the little camera stuck on the end of my Benbo tripod.
