Yes, I know the feeling. I, too, feel like lately I've just about given all there is in me to give.
But the wonderful thing about dandelions (or horrible thing if you're much of a gardener) is that their much tougher than they look, and they always seem to come back stronger than before.
Great picture.

How are people feeling?
A little empty perhaps
Maybe neglected and uncared for
Hanging on in there against the odds

I like Joeys comments, tougher than they look, and they always seem to come back stronger than before.

You pose an interesting question
I like it

Thanks for all the comments. Joey, I agree that this flower and in fact many people are stronger then they think or appear.
I like the symbolism that photos can generate.
