Dandelion season at the little horse farm between Västerhaninge and the Bronze Age burial ground in Jordbro. Normally the pasture is open for the horses but as it was empty I walked in for a few photos. Back in the late 1970s my mother and an uncle used to make wine from Dandelion. It was illegal back then. They used my grandparents basement and I can confess to "removing" quite a few bottles during my teenage years, and I can also say that I will never ever drink that stuff again.

This is one thing your part of the world and mine have in common. Here they are considered a weed but to me they have a sea of yellow beauty.
Maskrosvin, ja jisses. Just nu konkurrerar maskrosorna med rapsfälten om att lysa gult. Det är otroligt mycket maskrosor bl.a. ute på vall-åkrarna just nu. En fin svensk miljö du visar upp på din bild!
That's amazing! We had lots of them in Minnesota and they were a pain in the arse, but they're pretty much nonexistent in Florida.
I have never seen so many dandelions!
Lovely shot - gorgeous yellow!
We have them here, of course. I've never had dandelion wine, mind you. Beautiful capture!
What a beautiful field. I remember trying to eat a dandelion as a kid. From that experience I cannot imagine how one could make wine from that stuff.
It is a fabulous scene, Steffe, but I will confess that I use a lawn service that is under strict instructions not to let any dandelions live on my lawn.
I have heard of dandelion wine...don't have any desire to taste it. Beautiful view here, though.
