Dandelion (Taraxacum) seed head.  This is one of my earliest nature images.  I believe I shot it in 1974.  It was taken right at sunset and right into the setting sun.  It was recorded on Kodachrome 64 with my first camera, a Minolta SRT 101 with a 135mm f2.8 Rokkor lens mounted on auto extension tubes or more likely with close-up, screw-in accessory lens.  This image placed in the National Wildlife Federation's yearly photo contest and subsequently toured the United States in a year-long photo exhibition sponsored by the Leigh, Yawkey Woodson Art Museum of Wausau, Wisconsin.
