Dahlias still dazzle
I do still have a few dahlias that got a late start this year and are now at their peak. They are just so exuberant!
Visit Flowers for Today for the most amazing flower photos. And check out Color Carnival for more bright colors to amaze and amuse. Macro Monday has more close ups, and Mellow Yellow Monday (of course!) more yellow.

Gorgeous Dahlias photo! I love the colors on those blooms, especially the reddish tips.
That is beautiful! great shot too!
Would you mind looking at my little librarian?
It looks pretty flower. Happy MYM!
Wow!
My dahlias went a long time ago. They were getting very straggly just before we went away, so I pulled them up and planted winter pansies. Yours look great, though! And a lovely colour – coincidentally, the same colour that mine were, or very nearly!
this is a great shot and the blue sky background is fantastic!
Thanks all for your kind comments. Yes, I did use the macro setting. I’ve been playing with it and it’s fun to select what will be in focus and what won’t. And don’t we all just love that blue sky!
Nicely done!
Spectacular shot. Gorgeous colors, composition- all of it. You’re very talented!
Wow! I think they know they are being photographed! Splendid color and light!
Dear Sara
I visited u last night but as was necessary write the email I could not…cause the computer in Iceland was so much complicate.
I am passionate for macro…and your macro is simply…marvelous.
have a nice week
Gorgeous! Love the light and the shading of colors! Thanks for visiting and giving me the chance to discover your beautiful photos!
Lovely photos! Great composition all around!
