Making Wishes And Blowing Dandelion Seeds

It is said that by making wishes and blowing Dandelion seeds the wind will carry those wishes to their fulfillment. In this photograph a young African American woman, on a warm spring morning with the sun shinning overhead, holds a Dandelion Blossom and begins to blow in the hope that her own dreams and wishes will come to fruition.

Dandelions, Hopes and Dreams

This young Black woman has the same universal hopes and dreams of all young women of her generation. As she prepares to blow the Dandelion seeds out on their journey, is she dreaming of a handsome young man, or a fulfilling career, or the health and welfare of her loved ones? We can tell by her optimistic expression that her wish is one of hopeful expectation; She does not seem to be in the angst of fear or the dullness of depression. This is a picture of love, of romance and of possibilities.

Dandelion Stock Photos

What sets this stock photo of a Dandelion, of a woman blowing Dandelion sees, apart from other Dandelion pictures, is the ethnic content, the versatile and flexible cropping options, and the background. Looking at the metaphorical nature of the background for a moment, we see that behind her the sky is clouded, while ahead of her, where she is blowing the seeds, the sky has cleared and the sun is shining brightly. This becomes a very symbolically optimistic picture...we can believe that her wishes will come true. She is still young, but an adult as well. She is just leaving the age of innocence which lends a sweetness to the image as well.
