Description

Today's dahlia is another of the end-of-season blooms in the gardens at Mill Creek Park. And since we'll be gone most of today trying to root out fall foliage, it's also my way of saying a big CONGRATULATIONS to all the Finalists! Best of luck in the next round!

I'm w/Tammy on this one.
Most of the Organic garden down the street is Finished so the GRAY STAGE is just around the corner for us on Long Island.

Happy Shooting

This is such a pretty color Monnie; superb details. I just love the way the tiny petals nearer the center curl - a few of them remind me of tiny hearts. Have fun in the leaves!!!! #8975268
