One of my favorite pics of my favorite flower I made last year.

Dandelion Clock
… or dent-de-lion in its origin word, which means tooth of a lion.
… or skydiver flower in my own language as I was a kid. Actually, my mom said so, when I and my sister asked the name of this wild flower that grows a bit higher than the grass surrounds it, and pretty eye-catching too with its white color above the greens.
Since forever, I find it as my favorite flower for all time.
And the sweet youth days memories that I had with this wild but gentle, strong yet soft plant, make it even worthier.
I am so amazed by its filaments, that when the winds help it escape from its head, it would fly away slowly, float in the air with incalculable movement and unpredictable direction, look for a new place to grow, maybe search for a new environment, try to survive and to multiply.
And that is exactly what I am doing right now. I am so far away from home, looking for new experiences, searching for a better life, trying to survive and to adapt with this new situation that I am on and perhaps trying to multiply too... :D
Somehow, seeing this flower takes my gloominess and sulkiness out of existence.
So I feel grateful for this is spring and I can see these flowers everywhere, even in my room on the 7th floor. Well, not the whole bunch of course. Around 6 pm yesterday afternoon, while I was chilling and relaxing on my bed, suddenly this white filament came in through the window and danced slowly right in front of my weary eyes. The rays of the sun glowing outside perfectly framed this beauty and the bright blue sky background just made it completely gorgeous.
Then I think to myself, “Hey, it’s so cheerful outside. Why don’t I go for a walk and wash away my tiredness?”
So I went hunting …
