Romance of the Dandelion, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

I created this composite image in Photoshop to illustrate a book, Lane Von Herzen’s The Unfastened Heart. Here’s my description of how the image relates to the book: Mariela waits and wonders when Addison will return, or if he will return. In Anna’s untamed garden she bides her time and contemplates the dandelions, roses and poppies in wild profusion. She knows she cannot only wait and that out there is a world to respond to her magic.
