This week’s lens artist photo challenge is all about focusing on details. There is nothing like seeing the close up detail of flowers to really appreciate their beauty.
The photo below was taken by a lovely old stone building. But what caught my eye was the dandelion catching the sun.
And the intricate details of a dandelion clock or seed-head always fascinates me.
May already, and we are still having night frosts. Time they went away now. This week’s Six on Saturday. Thank you to The Propagator for hosting.

3. Bluebells. Yes May is bluebell season
4. Geranium – small and delicate and I am afraid I don’t know the name.
5. Dandelions are already setting seed and attracting a goldfinch pair into the garden.
6. And finally we have six new chicks just a couple of days old.
Last summer, a number of chicks hatched from the incubator. As the chicks grow, you really get to know their characters.
There are the cute ones.
The cheeky ones.
The shy ones.
The bossy ones.
Now we have new chicks and the getting to know you will start all over again.
In memory of Mac – who was one of the shy ones.
It is the time of year for blossoms. Enjoy.
