Dandelion among the rocks John McLaren Park San Francisco 20230616-162059

            Though much of John McLaren Park is lush and fertile, having once been hilly cattle country in the very early days of San Francisco, Much of the 313 acres is wild and rocky. I made this photo of a single dandelion flower that was hanging out onto a very rocky path through the park. There were many other of these pretty yellow flowers in the area, but I decided to photography this one by itself at fairly close range, using my Canon Powershot SX50. 
Many consider dandelions weeds. They do cover yards and hillsides during a rainy winter without being planted. They are not. The entire dandelion plant is edible, flowers, leaves, and roots. It is also medicinal. Pretty, too.
