Patrick, you never disappoint. Very nice set. I think I'm going with the white flower being my favorite.

Patrick, my favorite is the white flower photo... beautiful with the rain droplets and shallow DoF.

Great shots Patrick; It would be fun to do a time laps on the Dandilyon. I wonder how long it would take at 1 shot every minute or so? Hum food for thought.
Thanks for sharing these.
Chewys Dad.
