Wildflowers

Roadside wildflowers

Since this is my first spring in Juneau, I didn't know what to expect in the way of post-winter foilage.  I noticed there were pretty yellow flowers popping up everywhere - along the road, in people's yard, the park.  Upon closer inspection, I noticed they were dandelions; big, strong, sturdy dandelions.  As a Texas girl, my first instinct was to yank them up by the roots, but here in Juneau they are allowed to live amongst the other flowers.  I like it.
