Large Dandelion Flower Parachutes From Colorado

I really like how this image came out. So much texture compounded by the uniquely strange shape of the florets. Took this picture in the mountains of Colorado, in some of the higher elevations areas that received a large amount of sunlight every year. This type of dandelion was normally found in sunny open areas and not under the decidious trees. This particular dandelion (?) was very large about 5-6 inches in diameter. Imagine a normal one you would find in a backyard and multiply by 10 to imagine the size of it. When the globe of seeds where blown or carried by the wind the parachutes (or seed top) float very slowly down in a beautiful way.
