The dandelion in the backyard

I photographed this dandelion, which is in our backyard:

This isn't a good quality image as the flower is blurred from the focus being on the grass and the stem, but I was pleased with the next shot:

I was delighted that this picture and the others taken from a similar angle had turned out perfect!

My inspiration for photographing this dandelion — especially in the style of the second image — came from the Samsung Galaxy S III dandelion. In fact, I'm now using one of my dandelion pictures as the image for the lockscreen on my phone.
