Sometimes it’s worth pushing yourself to get out there after work, and do a walk. If I hadn’t there wouldn’t have been a opportunity to get these shots of the dahhhhhlia darling. Since it seems to have been raining every other moment this week.
For some reason when I see Dahlia’s, they speak to me in that beautiful sultry voice, the film noir, movie star with the smoking cigarette holder in her hand, and the drawling, low key voice. The dahhhhhhhhlia darling, the dahlia.
What? Don’t flowers speak to you?
If you want to see more in the collection, here is the link to the Picasa album.
Dahhhhhhling.
Now seriously, don’t flowers talk to everyone?

gorgeous dahlia photos Jen
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful pictures Jen.
ReplyDeleteHi! I just discovered your blog. I follow a comment you made on Brenda's cozy little house. The name of you blog is what attracted me! Your photos are stunning. I am a very amature photographer and will begin photography classes in a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteYour dream of an Organic Veggie farm sounds wonderful!

Hi Jen~
ReplyDeleteyou KNOW flowers speak to me!
they call out my name..
and there I am right on cue..
camera capturing their every utterance!
I know what you mean about Dahlias..
and sultry movie stars of the silver screen..
so very elegant, icy cool and yes mysterious..
yet ever so ready to whisper their secrets..
are you listening?
warm sandy hugs..

This past year my flowers have been speaking to me too but they are calling me bad names due to the way they have been neglected.
ReplyDeleteI would wash their mouths out with soap but that would mean I would actually have to go out in the garden at interact with them. If I had the time or energy for that I would have gone out an fertilized them or something.
Great pictures! I love my dahlia's as well. They are just so bold and colorful. Can't imagine my garden without them.
ReplyDeleteI hear them all the time! They tell me to buy more and make many more gardens!
ReplyDeleteWow - they are luscious, exotic and very sultry. The Marilyn Monroe of the flower world!
ReplyDeleteThis is hardly related, but it kind of is..the way you wrote Dahhhlia made me think of it. When my brother was little he thought (and this is the way he told us) that 'toffee was the way rich people said taffy.'
ReplyDeleteWe often now look at each other and say 'Toffee Dahhhling'
Yes, mine tell me they are lonely for more as well. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Jen!!
I love that first one, although I'm not really a dahlia fan.
ReplyDeleteI must admit to being a fan of Dahlias too. But I sort of think of them as the Carmen Mirandas of flowers, so ready to be extravagant and showy.
ReplyDeleteFabulous ... I'm starting to like Dahlias more and more!
