For Robin’s Summer Stock Sunday I offer this volunteer blown in on a wild wind. I haven’t yet looked it up to see if I can identify it, but it’s the first one I’ve seen around here. Looks like a somewhat upright desert dandelion, with its stickery leaves doesn’t it? I took the photo for identification purposes, but I’m rather pleased with the shadow play.
Peace, out!

Shelly just told me that Robin over at Around the Island is hosting a brand new photo meme called Summer Stock Sunday. I’m not that hot of a photographer, but every 50 or so photos I get lucky, so I figured I’d jump on in and give myself a good excuse to take more photos! This pic was a fortuitous accident. I was trying to get some cactus images when this little guy stopped by. I didn’t even have time to focus, I just aimed the camera and clicked. I thought I missed him, but I got lucky! I think the shadows look pretty cool, too.
