Description
Captured back on 7/16/08, early in the morning, somewhere within walking distance of my dwelling.
Holy mackerel, was it 10/6/2007 when I last posted a dahlia photo? Well, unbelievably, it was. That's almost two years ago! Tempus fugit!
I finally found time to review my older files last night, and came up with oodles of lovely geraniums, roses, and other items of interest, but out of all that competition I found this particular shot to be most fetching, and opted to post it today.
Don't bother viewing full size because this is as big as it gets.
Tallyho, and toodles.

I love dahlias ... they're gorgeous from any angle! A beautiful image - I love the subtle colors! That light yellow is wonderful.
Beautiful...
Love the light--these are gorgeous!!
...and the consensus says... WE LOVE DAHLIAS! Beautiful Harry!
Dahlias are so beautiful. Love your flowers! Great shot.
A great shot of a grand flower. My grandmother had Dahlia's every year and they are truly worth growing. Do I get the impression (from angle of the shadows on the petals) that we view this upside down? Very interesting!
Your heading up towards guru of the flower capturing league O'lboy, this looks awesome!
Ok, to match your knowledge of songs & puns, I should say Hello, Dahlia Yes hello, Dahlia It's so nice to have you back where you belong... (ok, can't win 'em all...) This is a beautiful capture of a beautiful flower. The top two flowers in particular have a fine balance between detail & softness, and the play between light and shade are beautiful. And your background is kept a deep green, which is a fine foil for the delicate hues of the dahlia. (This is one flower I can actually name, because it's a member of the same family as the chrysanthemum, which I've drawn & painted 8 million times, ie, for their multiple petals and overlays...they're both from the daisy family.) A beautiful shot.
