We had some extra healthy and huge dandelions this year. Some were over a foot high. My daughter was able to lay beneath them and got a few good shots!
What a cute pic; my little one thinks these are wishing flowers and you blow wishes to God. You gotta love kids right :) Thanks for sharing and for hosting the blog hop, Barbara
Those pictures are incredible. I would like to share the picture of the smoke and city on my blog...would you be ok with that if I link up to your site as well and give your niece credit? I would like to list her name if you are okay with that. let me know and thanks AMAZING Found you thru VB and hope you will check us out at http://twinswithtots.blogspot.com/ Be well Cathy
Cathy, You are more than welcome to post this picture on your blog. It was actually taken by her husband who is a fireman. Her name is Sarah and his name is Dennis (She doesn't blog so there is no link to her) Thanks!
Sarah, The only information available is that they're blaming it on the sever drought and high winds. But no information as to the direct cause. 4 people have died so far. It's a difficult situation with Texas being so dry and no rain.
Kind of a bittersweet combination HUH? While both picts are beautiful it shows the extremes in life. From being a little kid told to blow on the dandelion and make a wish showing the beauty and magic in nature to the extreme opposite showing the wrath of mother nature during a dry season. I am not sure that was the intention by any means but that is what I first thought when I looked at them!
wow to both shots.....and i have been so self absorbed, i didn't even know about the TX fires until today- shame on me. i need to get back into the world! :P
I agree with so many of the comments, both picutres are amazing but for different reasons. The dandelion picture shows how beautiful something so simple can be, and the picture of the fires is just so sad. My thoughts and prayers to all the people affected. Beautiful post Becky.
Wow! A couple of great shots! Found your blog via Wordless Wednesday's (even if I am a little late)! Please follow back at http://www.pargasjunkyard.wordpress.com and /or on facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pargas-Junkyard/259287017434763 ... Thanks!
That's a great picture of the Texas fires, but it's kind of smoky looking. Love the picture of the dandelion too. I don't see those around much anymore, but I have made my share of wishes on dandelions :)
Wow, I knew the Texas fires were bad but that picture really brings it to life for me. I need to spend some time in prayer for sure...God, please bring rain to that area!!

ReplyDeleteApril
Wow, great pictures! The Texas fire photo is so sad....thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday! It was great to "see" you! :)
ReplyDeleteLove both of the pictures. That one of the fire is really scary though!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic picture by your daughter! It is nice to view them as art work, rather than a huge pain in the rear!
ReplyDeleteThe fire picture is crazy for me to see. Living in the midwest, I've never experienced anything like that.
Take care, & have a great day. (Stopping in from VB)

The dandelion picture is captured beautifully! Makes me wish we had them in our yard.
ReplyDeleteThe smoke: wow, I just can't imagine seeing that ahead of me...scary!
What a photo. I live in Southern California and we get damaging fires as well.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of the fire is just stunning. Heartbreaking and sad, too.
ReplyDeleteLove the dandelion shot!!
Beautiful shot with dandelion and sad with TX...but a good shot too
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, but the fire is very scary looking. What was the back story? How did it start? Was everyone ok?
ReplyDeleteSarah @ made in usa challenge
Becky Jane,
ReplyDeleteNeither one of those pics need any words to describe them! One is beauty and the other is scary. Wow! I'm wordless. :0)

That is an amazing angle on that dandelion photo! And that Texas fire picture is so moving...
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Hannah
I just got goosebumps! That fire is so close to our house, well not THAT close, but less than an hours drive.

ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures, the dandelion had to be a belly shot. However she took it, it turned out great.
ReplyDeletewow to both shots.....and i have been so self absorbed, i didn't even know about the TX fires until today- shame on me. i need to get back into the world! :P

ReplyDeleteThose are both really good shots!!!!
ReplyDeleteBecky Jane, these pictures stand in such juxtaposition to each other. One a picture of hope and wishes; the other a picture evoking fear and prayer.
ReplyDeleteThe first picture was absolutely adorable! What a beautiful angle! The second was very sobering. I am lost for words now.
ReplyDeleteAmazing pictures, one so fragile and one so violent.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! And *wow* I'm really into photography and I just *loved* both of these pictures! Amazing!
