“It gives one a sudden start in going down a barren, stony street, to see upon a narrow strip of grass, just within the iron fence, the radiant dandelion, shining in the grass, like a spark dropped from the sun”
This is a combination of three pictures. I gave the top layer more of a drawing type look and then blended in the other two pictures.
Now a couple more quotes I found.

Beautifil Ann! You made dandelions look so good!
I like the last quote! And I love what you did with this picture! It's very striking.
What Christine said. I love all the quotes.
Have a terrific day. My very best to Duke. :)
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who appreciates dandelions.
That almost looks like a cartoon! Very pretty I like the colors and the fuzziness and that little bit of sharpness ...Nice work! (And I happen to LIKE dandelions)
I have a new appreciation of dandelions! Love the first quote.
I guess that I can say I'm a Master Gardener, because I don't even try to grow them, yet they sprout-up everywhere.
Hey, I love this effect! How you did that Ann?
Love the editing you do! I have very fond memories of dandelions--bringing them to my grandmother who treated them as though they were the finest roses.
Thanks for renewing this memory!
When we were kids we would never pick the dandelions as we believed if we did we would wet the bed...not sure where this came from....maybe our parents who were sick of having dandelion posies presented to them...lol....of course it was just an old wives tale and i have to admit to repeatedly picking the dandelions out of my allotment....they are pretty and have a purpose ..just not in my veg patch!!!!!
I do love the pic you did though....
I love it, Ann. What a wonderful creation. For me, dandelions are exceptionally beautiful. They are poetic in their essence.
Great quotes! I think you should link this post tomorrow in my Thursday In "Other" Words... If you stop by my blog tomorrow you'll know why I say this :)
I have only two words for you in regards to that picture. Granted, they are two very familiar words, but they still ring just as true. SHOW OFF!!!
Lovely picture and quotes! Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Anna

Ann, you did a wonderful job with the photo. It's amazing. And I love these quotes. That last one is so true.
That is beautiful!! Truly amazing :)
Christine thanks, I just can't seem to look at them as a weed any more :)
Cinnamon girl yes the last quote is not only good but true :)
Sandee, quotes are always good, I'm a quote junkie
Ratty I never really had much appreciation for them until my first macro shot of one and then I was in pure awe of how incredible they are
Grace I LIKE them too but then what's not to like.
Beaded tail it is a good quote and I think it's description of a dandelion is perfect
Tahtimbo me too :) now I can stop saying I don't have a green thumb
vanilla seven I just layered 3 pictures on top of each other and changed the blending modes and opacity of each to what I thought looked good
Bossy Betty thank you. Grandmothers are good for stuff like that. sure miss mine
allotments4you I suppose dandelions would be bothersome in a vegetable garden
poetic shutterbug I couldn't agree with you more
fullet I'll be there to check it out, thanks for letting me know
fishhawk I should have known.
Anna thanks and you're welcome I enjoy visiting you
russ hope I'm not overdoing it but glad someone can enjoy them
DKMiller why thank you so much what a nice thing to say
out on the prairie thanks for stopping by and hope you come back often
urban cowboy thanks, experimenting seems to be my biggest hobby
junezach well I hope so, at least I try to anyway
bboysmom it is a lot of fun, maybe I spend too much time with them though :)
Dida sometimes more difficult is more desirable and then sometimes it's not :)
Leeuna thank you. I always have fun trying to find quotes to match the pictures. I don't always find a match but I have fun looking
Love the saying that if Dandelions were hard to grow, we would all have them in our yard.Well they are in our yard anyway and they really aren't so bad. Pretty yellow flowers. I have some other weeks that look like I planted them. I should take a picture of them.
Have a great evening.
Audrey, thanks glad you like it
Marg weeds are about the only thing growing in my yard right now :)
The picture is great and I love the quotes. Yep, the dandelions are in full bloom here and I actually welcome them because the llamas and my rabbits adore dandelion leaves!
How Beautiful! LOVE when you play around with the photos! Not that I Learn anything...Hahahaa...but they're Great!
hughugs
I really like what you did with that. Makes the bud "pop"
I love it! The quotes, the picture and the inspriation. I really must start learning Elements.
Ahhh, this is one stage of the dandelion that I didn't capture...I love your effects...and that Mason quote. Both, beautiful!
split rock ranch a yummy lunch for the llamas and rabbits.
Donna I love when I play around too...lol I'll bet you're picking up more than you think
sharkbytes it does. It didn't stand out quite so much without the 2 other pictures.
lenox knits you would have a blast with it although your photos alone don't need any help.
earthtoholly plenty of time to still get this stage. and thank you.
