Just a few cm more to the left than the previous picture ... The calyptera just wagling in the gentle spring-breeze ...
For most of my pictures I take my time ... waiting, waiting, ... here I had to be realy fast: a few moments after I took the picture, the wind blew a little stonger, taking the hairy cap with it and leaving the capsula unprotected...

@dang: I'll keep it with stills :-) that's difficult enough for me... Thx Dang.
@Tamara: Hartelijk dank, Tamara. We blijven ons best doen :-)
@Marleen: Pinokkio had ik er nu niet dadelijk in gezien ... Bedankt weer voor je leuke commentaar, Marleen.
@Annie Viguié: Merci beaucoup, Annie.
Sometimes it is difficult to choose between images. I do think every image is a stand alone - I try not to compare too much.
@Ansie: Heel erg bedankt voor je compliment, Ansie.
@Patricia: Dank je Patricia.
Ik wens je nog een mooie avond verder.
@☾éline: Thank you very much, Céline. Glad you returned to my images.
@Self-Indulgence: Thank you, Kristen. I always try to look for interesting light-situations.
@Julie Brown: Without the wind, this would not have been possible to capture ...
Have a nice evening, Julie.
