Dahlia

Now THIS is what I call color! After I took her portrait, she was just begging me to take her home. How could I refuse; she'll be going into my Garden soon.

@nana Hi Nancy --Thank you for taking the time to pay me such a nice compliment. Your Lilacs pale only in color! The shot you took was great; keep it up. Be well, Les

@kimmiesue Thank you, Kim. I have taken a quick look through your "365" and it was like finding a treasure trove of my favorite things; beautiful blooms, vivid colors, macro work, creativity, to name a few. I am looking forward to your future postings with great interest. Be well, Les

Stunning shot! Such wonderful bright color and I'm glad she went home with you as we may get to see more of her :)

@kdrinkie Hey Kim - Thank you! I love doing these kinds of shots. I wonder if many other people shoot SOOC like these??? To me, that's the challenge and the elation of getting a good one. Sorry to say that you won't be seeing more of her; I just found out I have Woodchuck. Oh, horsefeathers! Be well, Les
