dandelion wishes- outdoor challenge
Make a wish, take a deep breath, and blow…….
Harvest (excerpt)
In the meadow-grass
The innocent white daisies blow,
The dandelion plume doth pass
Vaguely to and fro, -
The unquiet spirit of a flower
That hath too brief an hour.
Ellen Mackay Hutchinson Cortissoz [?-1933]

My monkeys just told me today that they wish our yard was full of the white dandelions.
I told them to just wait…the yellow will be gone soon.
We love dandelions. Our dandelions have just appeared.
Precious pictures as usual
My children are always outdoors !

We love to go outdoors, wicked dandelion pictures!!!
Great pictures!
WE are loving the challenge. My dog loves it too; she is so happy to be spending lots of time outside with us!

Thanks for the comments all. It was actually Araina’s idea to capture the moment. She LOVES getting her pic taken!
The first picture is so good that it takes my breath away! What a moment frozen in time. . .
Love those pics! That last one is so neat, right over her eye.
We are finally able to participate!!! Here is my post:

Beautiful photos! My girls love dandelions and want to know why their friends are calling them weeds. lol We actually did a little bit of painting with dandelions yesterday. We’ve been painting outside for two days now. Thanks for inspiring us to get out! Gave you a shout-out today on my blog-Creative and Curious Kids!

Fabulous wishy photos!! Princess loves blowing wishies away, too. Maybe one day we can get our girls together!!
Such great photos of your daughter blowing the dandelion seeds
So much fun! And thanks for sharing the picture of my son munching on his lettuce *grin*. I just love how that photo turned out 
I had to be away today so I didn’t get a chance to take any photos with the kids so I’m going to have to catch up again tomorrow! Have a lovely day tomorrow

I’m with Angelina, those peace sequins really seal the deal. Love this wild flower child :0)
More rain on our side of the fence, but that hasn’t stopped us one bit. Check out what we did this week (more wet pics coming soon)

I am just amazed at how well you capture all the right moments…

I’ve missed linking up for a few days, but you can use any of my pics if you want.
Love the pictures Lisa. Simple childhood moments are so precious. You capture them beautifully!
Great pictures…I love all your dandelion posts. I’ll have to get a picture of Bugsy trying to blow one. He hasn’t quite got the knack yet, but he’s very entertaining to watch!
Here’s ours for the day…

Hello! Hello! Lovely pictures. Love the swing ones! Those will be treasured photos!
I believe you have a friend named Nancy? I think she wanted my dishrag pattern. I know she has a blog, but has not posted in awhile. Tell her to post her email addy on my blog ( I won’t publish it!) and I will send her the pattern….It is a Bernat pattern that I kind of altered.
Have a wonderful week! Karen
Hmmmm, only Nancy I know if my hubby’s Aunt. She doesn’t have a blog so I”m not sure who this would be.
What beautiful pictures! I love all the dandelions this time of year- I still make wishes sometimes too
We are still really enjoying the outdoor challenge- we are still going strong!

Adorable pictures! Whenever I see dandelions now, I think of you, because of all those lovely dandelion posts you did last year.
Dawn, that is so sweet!
GREAT photos Lisa. Do you use a flash? I wonder how you get your girls so “crisp.” Isaac is forever moving…and even in the bright sun at F2.8 he’s blurry. Tips?
no flash…..hate flash. Evening light when the sun is just starting to set makes killer photos!
I also have an action setting that captures movement instead of blurs it.
Aha! I was pretty sure you didn’t use flash. I hate flash too. I will try my action setting instead of manual. I really get tired of all the blur – and how do you tell a 3.5 year old to not move. LOL!
I miss real dandelions… I can’t find them here in TX.

She’s such a cutie!
A little sassy thing is more like it and such a HAM! She always seems to be posing for the camera!
we’ve been participating every day (missed this past weekend only)..I didn’t know I was supposed to leave a link every time??
Here is today’s:
