Day 157 (again) - A garden of sorts

There is beauty even in the vilest weed.

I have spent a great deal of time over the past couple of weeks trying to eradicate an infestation of dandelions from our lawn, particularly the front lawn near the road. I've become a little bit obsessed with the battle, to be honest, and I think I might be gaining the upperhand. Finally.

Then along comes another sunny day and I find these little bulbs beautifully lit on the side of a hill on my way home from work. In this case, I opened the aperture up as far as I could in the sun (in order to create a very slight depth of focus) and push the shutter speed to keep the light at a useful level. Dandelions suddenly don't look so bad.
