    Lovely Dahlia. I have recently started to grow them without having the awareness that our climate is not so kind to the beauties. They have me in their hold though and I have gone to great lengths to protect them from our early frosts. Such treasures. thanks for sharing 🙂

  8. The dahlia might win, or at least get the silver medal! What a fun poem to go with this photo. You have a lovely blog here — so peaceful and happy! I’ve added it to a list of positive blogs I keep on my own site. 🙂

  10. Dahlias are most beautiful, I have always been reluctant to grow them as the only insect that makes me nervous is an earwig, and these flowers seem to attract them. A beautiful photo.

  14. Stunning capture!
    Dahlias are such a beautiful flower perfectly illustrating sacred geometry.

  15. That gorgeous lavender/purple is definitely not a common fall color…although I saw some lavender colors today in someone’s garden, limp from first frost, looking like over-sized crocusses.
    Mesmerizing patterns on these dahlias…

  16. 2ndhalfolife – In the second (or really third?) half of my life now. Moving into the more crone stage: out of my head, into my soul. I am revisiting this blog after many years, many life changes and challenges and finding myself surrounding by joy and resilience. Join me for the transformation and transition.

  20. LB – I'm a woman who loves spending time on the motorcycle and in, or on, any body of water. I love traveling and reading, baking and cooking, taking way too many pictures, and enjoying my family and friends. Life is an adventure, and I want to remember and express my joy for it! This is a journal for me ... so I'll never forget the good times and to remind me of them on more challenging days.

  22. Thegreyeye – Hi there ... I have always wanted to travel!!! After all we 've got one life right ? and I wanna spend it knowing the world. And what is the better way to know the people than to travel ! While doing that, I came to know myself much more than I thought I knew about who I am. I am a dreamer !!! a singer… a painter,,,, a cook… a foodie… a friend… a shopaholic ..a traveler.. That’s who I am. ...So I started writing about it. I also wanna go to a bunch places in my journey's ahead. I am gonna plan them and ask your advice as well here. ;) So come and join my travel boutique.. And after 5 years of travel photography and travel-writing and reading many of the related blogs,I believe I can offer an unique thing here, I can photograph any place to their best. After travelling 23 countries in 5 years, I realised, any place whatever small or insignificant they look like, they always have something to offer. Here I have described several places like that taking out the best of 'em. So, enjoy :) .

  24. M. – Since I was little I liked to visualize and create things. Painting with watercolors is what makes me happy now. That, and spending time gardening and reading. I love long walks, biking, and the beach.
