Something Tells Me The Sign Didn't Work

Click image to view a bigger version I was absolutely exhausted after work this evening for some reason, and fell asleep on the sofa after I'd had dinner.
One of the many advantages of this time of year is that it stays light to a sufficiently late point that one can crash out, recover a bit, and still get a decent walk in! I thought this sign and graffiti made an amusing juxtaposition.

I saw this field full of bright yellow dandelion flowers a few weeks ago, and when I walked past today, they have all gone to seed and were catching the light rather nicely.

Rather a pleasant walk along the canal.

This is the first time I've really taken a close look at an individual dandelion seed - I was struck by the almost fractal nature of the seed with respect to the whole dandelion head.
The individual fibres are also surprisingly rough and spiky.
I will have to revisit this one I think, perhaps I should drag the microscope out and get properly close in on the fibre structure.
This one is at 5x magnification.

Finally back up to date on posting (statement currently valid for about 36 minutes...)

At least by these dandelions' reckoning.
