Photography of this flower captured in one afternoon.

Nature always captures us in different forms all around us sometimes in the blue of the sky sometimes in the jump of a grasshopper and sometimes in the gentle beauty of a small flower One such afternoon I was walking along a small path covered in grass Suddenly I saw this extraordinary flower white as cotton round as if waiting to fly in the wind I stopped stared at it in fascination for a moment Then I picked up my mobile and took a few pictures Although this flower is actually known as dandelion to many many people in our rural Bengal know it as cotton flower When I was young, I used to blow away its seeds and make a wish if these seeds really go somewhere far away with their wishes that old memory came to mind that day.

Each of the pictures shows a different side of the flower Somewhere it is shining in the sun somewhere it is hidden in the grass In the picture behind a thick grass this flower white as cotton can be seen as if discovering a secret beauty In the picture the whole flower is seen where the sunlight falls and it looks like a form In another picture there are two flowers side by side one is still in its full form the other has lost many seeds on the way to the end The beauty of this flower brings a kind of peace not only to the eyes but also to the mind Its structure is so perfectly formed that it seems that nature has made it with its own hands Each delicate white seed is like a small umbrella which floats in the wind and sows the seeds of new life When I see this cycle of nature I am repeatedly amazed at what unique creations are spread all around us.

This afternoon was calm the air was soft and the sunlight seemed to have become a little less making nature more tender In such an environment these cotton flowers seem to come to you like a dream touch you and fly away somewhere far away again Its like a reflection of life Everything comes a time passes only some memories remain some pictures Looking at the pictures I went back to that moment again and again The way the flowers were swaying in the soft touch of the wind and I was capturing their fleeting beauty on camera This small experience reminded me that even the smallest things in nature hide great joy.

Such small moments in nature bring a touch of tranquility to our busy lives If we take a little time to look around we will realize that beauty is not very far away it is all around us We just need to stop and look and feel it So I say one afternoon when these flowers white as cotton are swaying in the wind stop and look Maybe you too will find a little peace a little childhood memory or the beginning of a new dream.
