When Miss P was little we used to play a game of trying to catch dandelion seeds as they blew through the air. She called them wishing stars, and if you could catch one you got to make a wish.
As adults we do yearly battle with these weeds and work hard to keep them out of our lawns and manicured public
spaces. But still when I see a big field of dandelions gone to seed and bit of a breeze blowing them into the air, I can’t help but think that they're actually really pretty.

Yesterday was a perfect sunny summer day and I tried to capture a few with some mid-morning backlighting to make them seem dreamy and magical. And that’s my photo finish for this week.
Why don't you try catching your own wishing star this weekend? Do you know what you'd wish for? I hope it comes true for you.
