I loved the colors in this picture, even though the bright sun and intense purples ruined the effect. I almost never edit photos, other than cropping, but I played with this one until I thought it was salvageable.

the process

It’s a process.
The May part is fun, full of hope and expectation.
But the October part, not so much.

to seed

Only one plant’s got purple flowers left. The rest have gone to seed.
The butterflies and birds still like them, I think, so that’s an excuse to let them be.

dahlias

I’m like the farmer’s market. What I have right now is flowers. In another month, I guess it will be falling leaves or leafless trees. But … for now … my dahlias this year are the best I’ve ever had and I’m giving them their day.

soft

There’s something about the faded colors.
They remind me of what? Peach nectar? My favorite sunset?
Maybe just a warm day.

Have a good weekend!

one step

Up the steps,
and the flowery view in between.
