PHOTOGRAPH INFO

This was taken during a stretch of lovely spring weather with temps in the 70s and 80s.

Yellow Rocket is also known as Wintercress. It's used in folk medicine for a varity of ailments and I've read that it can be eaten, although I don't endorse that idea. Dandelion was brought to the U.S. long ago as a garden plant and was widely used for food and medicine. It's only thought of as a weed in lawns now, sadly.

Remember Euell Gibbons? In his book Stalking the Wild Aparagus, Euell said, "Even during the worst blizzard in January, a glass of dandelion wine will bring summer right into the house."

Here are a few recipes for dandelion wine and here's a nice fact page on dandelions.

Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens with polarizing filter at 135mm, ISO 200, f/2.8, shutter 1/1250s. Curves adjustments, color balancing.
