Inverted Shadow on the Lioness.

In German it's called a Pusteblume, translated as "blow flower." The number of blows required to completely rid the dandelion clock of its seeds is deemed to be the time of day.

"The dandelion is an excellent barometer, one of the commonest and most reliable. It is when the blooms have seeded and are in the fluffy, feathery condition that its weather prophet facilities come to the fore. In fine weather the ball extends to the full, but when rain approaches, it shuts like an umbrella. If the weather is inclined to be showery it keeps shut all the time, only opening when the danger from the wet is past."

The title alludes to how I made this picture. Any guesses?
