The long 2018 season of snow, ice, and cold wind have finally receded into the "distant" past, and dandelions are dancing across our yard with a vengeance. My son and I decided to make nutritional use of this resurgence by collecting dandelion leaves for a dinner salad. However, I got a little sidetracked with the brightness and unusual shape of the leaves of this very common flower (and the flying insect!) and recorded it in my sketchbook.
