Yellow

“The sun is a lion roaring, shaking his mane of golden light.” - by poet

Dandelions roar:
Yellow lions in the grass
Mimicking the sun.

Congratulations on your winner. Way to go. Very creative. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Those dandelions can be a horrible weed for those who love a well-manicured lawn. I probably would encourage their blooms. Sara K

Thanks Sara, Yes, dandelions are best in the park. Sadly, it's too much work to keep them in a 'pet lawn' (ours is only semi-tame (digging out bindii, and yes, dandelions). Somehow they always sneak in, and I'm both pleased and annoyed. J :)

The sunny image is 'cat-cute,' methinks. Lovely, Jeanette.
