I grew up in a small Oregon town called Trail. Every year I travel back to my family home which is located on the most beautiful land I’ve ever seen. Fresh water springs, a lake, huge hay fields and towering pine tress. As you drive down the long gravel road you see these large, round, airy, dandelion like shapes peppering the fields. They really shine and stand tall in an attempt to show their beauty. I think most passersby wouldn’t take a second look, but at first sight I was in love. Once the airy seed pods blow off in the fall wind, you are left with a brown button dressed with wild tendrils. This shape is incredible! Take a closer look, what do you see?
