blurry puffy dandelions

 remember my dandelion from just a little over a week ago? it is nowhere to be found. all that was left of it was its giant weedy looking leaves. I imagine it looked like this for a short time before the wind took it away. that's why the ones here are so blurry, it was quite breezy out while I waited for a still moment. I must have sat on the curb where these were for twenty minutes before I decided to give up. for some reason I still like this picture though. 
oh and, you'll never guess what these are called! parachute balls! have you ever heard of such a thing? I found out on wikipedia. and if it's on wikipedia, it must be true.
