A wish to build a dream on

If you can blow all the seeds from a dandelion globe with one blow, you are loved with a passion.

If a few remain, your lover has reserveations.

If many remain, you are loved very little.

Or, perhaps you just have weak lungs.

    Fantastic macro shot Julie. I have never heard these words matched with the dandelion globe before. Is this a tradition attached to this flower or is this something you have created? Very nice indeed.

    Nope. Not a jools-ism. A real hand-me-down.

    ... except for the last line ... becaise I don't truck with all that other romantic crap!

    We used to "tell the time" by blowing dandelion clocks. It was never very accurate, but a lot of fun!
    Your photo is full of light.

    I've never heard that before. In future I shall either blow harder or remember to choose one that is very "ripe".
