Dandy Host

I found this dandelion that had a stalk of grass that had apparently grown right through it.   The dandelion seeds were intact all the way around which would have been unlikely if the grass had been blown or knocked into it.  It was odd enough that I had to stop and capture it.

Sony a6000, SEL1670Z @ 48mm, ISO-100, f/8.0, 1/250, hand held.

Gary: What a great find and a fine capture. The OOF snow covered hillside in the BG grabs my eye a bit and I think I would crop some of it but make sure not to cut off any of the grass blade. 2 thumbs up.>=))>

Gary, I know you can't look anywhere in Valdez without a mountain showing up somewhere. A little crop from the top and some finagling ought to remove most of it.
