Breathe softly or you'll be saying, "Mama had a baby and her head popped off!" Did you ever do/say that with dandelions? Now that I think about it, it really seems rather twisted. :) We used to hold the dandelions and say that and then pop the head of it off. On to nicer things like how much I love this image! The subtle colors are wonderful and I love how you have framed the image. I like that strip of darker background, too!

marianne from Toulouse, France
Tout est caresse, les herbes folles penchées sous la chaleur du vent, l'onde frissonne et les petits houpettes blanches sont un rêve de douceur sur le visage ...
la nature est un cadeau, j'en dénoue les liens, et je m'endors sur ce rêve ... surtout ne pas me réveiller ..
bisous Lorraine !
