Neighbor's Dahlia

One of our neighbor’s has an extremely prolific green thumb. In a bed along the sidewalk she is growing 4 varieties of dahlias I believe. Here is a peak of just one of those varieties from several different angles and different lighting.

I am loving the large number of blooms and the variety of life stages that are represented.

Here is one very near the peak of its glory.

I can’t resist a little back-lighting with a touch of lens flare.

It’s going to be a big weekend around these parts once again. There is another harvest festival to attend and a big photoshoot for what we’re hoping is about 4-5 projects! 3 projects might be a bit more realistic. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
