Dusky Dahlia
OK, jumping into the dahlia pond after spending Sun Morning with Ned at a smaller field out here in Washougal. But there are over 180 varieties, many I haven't seen before. I really liked the morning light on this velvety dark dahlia.

Very beautiful, Jerry. Ned sure loves his Dahlias--I spent Fri. and Sat. morning with him at Swan Island.

Wow, that's some deep color you captured there Jerry. Pulling back enough to get the clipped petal tips or cramming to clip a lot of them would be my only recommendation.

You certainly made the most of the detail in this one.. thanks again for showing me the field.

Very rich and detailed Jerry. The petals on the right around the water droplets really pull me in.
