Field Notes

Description:

A familiar, friendly yellow face that turns into a fluffy, seedy head, nodding to us from across the lawn, inviting us throughout our lives to revisit childhood ... to spread our wishes on the wind with a puff of breath.

Notes:

Species ID is the most probable ... others are possible.
