We have a field near us that has been left farrow for the last several years and the natural flora has started taking over. Dandelions were one of the first things and, being as there was nothing else in their way, they covered the whole field. When they first come, the field turns yellow with their flowers. Normally I take photos of the dogs in the flowers because it looks so good but I didn't have chance this year. Still, over the last few days, I noticed how dense all the dandelion clocks were, mainly because we've had little wind to blow them away. Yesterday, I decided to get some quick snaps before work because they forecast rain for today and I knew that might ruin them. It was a good call because it has been blustery today and when I took our Jess this morning before work, all but a very small few of them had totally blown off. We only had one short shower this morning though, lol.
Our poor old Jess, at 13, found it a bit tiring labouring through this lot and I had to make sure no pappus got into her ears. Normally, she'd stick to the path had I not had her posing for me....
