Lion's tooth

tim and a dandelion. or its seeds... i just learned from wikipedia that dandelion comes from the french dent de lion, which means lion's tooth, although they also call it dog's lettuce, apparently, hahahaha! in dutch we call it a "paardenbloem", which literally translates into horse-flower.
today i really went "outside" for the first time in a week!! we went to the cemetery behind our apartment, and it was so very pretty! most trees were at blossom-full-bloom, and the sun was shining every now and then as well. only i felt like my head was stuffed with cotton wool... :( it feels so much weirder when walking outside, like your on another planet with some gigantic glass helmet on, and everyone around you is mute. but not in a nice way...
but welll, maybe tomorrow i can finally go out for real again...!! but i have been thinking that every evening for the past week... :(

Awww, so sorry! You've had a rough time of it! I hope you're back to normal soon.

Nice shot.

I have a garden full of yellow "horse-flowers". Can't wait to see all the seeds flying around :(....
Sorry to hear you still have a flu, sometimes it is worser than other times. Hope you are well soon.

Canada geese, squirrels and dandelions. Those are probably the natural things that I like least. Fortunately, I have a lawn service that applies weed killers, so I don't get very many dandelions any more.

Wow, this cold really hit you hard, didn't it? I'm glad you got outside for a little while. Continue resting and taking care of yourself.
