Dahlia love

Dahlia 5

When I was out erranding yesterday I spotted some dahlia in the cut-flower section of the market. Dahlias are awesome, the way the petals look like scoops and how they unfurl and form petal pom-poms. I've never had the opportunity to photograph them before. To say I was giddy would be an understatement. ;-)

After spending a bit of time with them, I love dahlias even more.

The yellow areas of the orange/red/yellow blooms just glowed, like they were lit from within.

  2. These dahlias are lovely. So many views of the same flower and yet they are all so different and each shows more than the last...
