Dahlia, 10th & Wilson Community Garden

This flower is growing in the gardens over at 10th and Wilson. I shot this photo later afternoon--when the light is best. Early morning is good too.

Huge Dahlia


This dahlia is huge, bigger than a dinner plate. I love how the photo turned out with the blue of the sky behind it.

This is a wonderful closeup. When I was a young woman and had a new 33mm camera and closeup lenses, all I took pictures of was flowers. Now, with the digital camera, it's flowers and folks, and a lot of pictures of my grandbaby.

Wow, this is fabulous. The first time I saw a hollyhock I thought it was a weed and pulled it out of the ground. Huh, just new, I guess.
