ARCHIVE 258 – THE MADDING CROWD (MONO)

Dandilions near the The Castle of Comfort Inn, northeast of Priddy, on the Mendip Hills; 24 Apr 2011.
When I see this I think of a tide of people – or perhaps they are just faces – emerging from the far darkness and tottering forwards, unsteadily but also unstoppably, out into the light.

About Adrian Lewis
A homeowners nightmare, to see them packed this tightly! 😉 Kind of disturbing!

Yes – but its OK, it is farmland! Although our front lawn is getting this way too … 😦

Yes, that certainly is a priddy sight. I’ve always found myself attracted to them too, though most folks around these parts consider them annoying weeds. Remember the fine series of images that the Meanderer did on them? I’ll never forget them.

You’re not the first to use that village’s name in vain – a nearby farm has the Priddy Good Farm Shop, and it does really staggeringly good meat pies, really like pies ought to be. Yes I do remember M’s images, wonderful stuff!

I’ve not passed by very often recently Adrian, but I happened to spot this one, whilst looking for a particular post. I’m glad that, unlike me, you are still posting some great images. Keep it up. I hope that you are well. I hope to be back sometime. We have just had a very, very busy couple of years. All the best. Dave

Dave, its very good to hear from you – I hope you’re both fine and well. Yes, I’m still blogging, I enjoy the contact with like (and unlike!) minds, and I find blogging a great stimulus for photography. Take care. Adrian

One of my favourite flowers/plants/seedheads – ah the simple pleasures of life – as yet another example of which, another order for Forbidden Fruits has winged its way across the net today! 🙂
