What a Blast!

Description

But now, alas, it's over. Yes, the dahlias at Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio, are all but history. Faded and brown, I expect what few remain to be torn out next time we stop. It's been fun, my beauties - see you next summer! Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone!

Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/500 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi
