Yellow Lions
I think dandelions have a bad rap:  everyone sees a weed, an eyesore on an otherwise pristine yard, something that needs to be destroyed.  I have a different perception of them.  I like dandelions.  I admire their tenacity, their simple beauty and their determination to thrive against all odds.  Some flowers need constant attention: water, care, ph balanced dirt, and insecticide to look their best.  Not the dandelion.  The dandelion flips the bird at anything that seeks its destruction.  Sure, sometimes it is defeated but a majority of time it thrives.  And that should be celebrated.
Abstract Reflection
This is an inverted reflection of water off the side of an abandoned ship in Ontario.  I really liked the variegation of the paint on the ship contrasting with the lightening effect of the water's reflection.
