Pretty In Pink

I can't resist the flowers that are hanging on and still looking good. I'm dedicating this photo to my Aunt Shirley (@sabanford) because whenever I see dahlias I think of her and my Uncle Foster, who grows what seems like thousands of these every year. In the summer, there are little bouquets of these beauties in every color all over their house.

This year my aunt sold dahlia bulbs as a fundraiser for the local library where she is very involved.
That is a beautiful flower, love the soft look
