The Daily Post – Weekly Photo Challenge: Wish
As kids, we’d truly believe the blown seeds of a dandelion would go far to a place where wishes would be granted. And so the summer days would be full of wishes gliding in the air. It used to be a magical time – the lazy summer days to dream and wish and wait for it to come true. Those times, when dandelions were the messengers for wishes…
WISHES
TO FLY in the air
To pluck at the stars
To have a candy palace
Why, nothing seemed bizarre!
Wishes wishes, oh so many
Blow the dandelion, and ask for any
A HANDFUL of diamonds
Prince charming on a stallion
Be sought after
My charm be my medallion
WISHES wishes, oh so many
Blow the dandelion, and ask for any!
Not smart but be wise
A true friend or a few
BE A kid again, that
Innocence like dew
Wishes wishes, not too many
Blow the dandelion, hoping for an epiphany!

The dandelions are beautiful here when they flower in late April. Alas, their stay is short!

Yeah! And as much as lawn owners are scared of the invasion of dandelions, I always thought they were beautiful.
Thank you for stopping by, Tom.

There’s a road near me that runs along the flood plain of a river and the land adjacent to the road is parkway. No herbicides are used, so dandelion flowers are plentiful for about a week. Really a lovely scene.

Oh then you must capture that! Hope to see some lovely pictures.
The “neglected” the land, the better. I love wildflowers along the sloping roadsides in general.

When we were kids, we called these dandelion clocks, believing if we blew on them we could tell the time by the number of blow it took to disperse all the seeds. Three blows meant it was three o clock….

I suppose to pluck at the stars, one has to reach them first.. which makes this two wishes in one.. Beautiful, detailed pictures of the dandelions… Impressive!
