Another satisfying trip to one of Oregon's beautiful flower farms...
Megan, Jesse and I walked the Dahlia fields at Swan Island near Canby. It was very hot, but we walked through the sprinklers a few times to get cooled off.
Pictures cannot do justice to these beautiful colors and designs! We took 3 times more pictures than I am posting! Megan and I took turns using the camera, and some of my favorites are the ones she took.
These were as big as dinner plates!
Megan took the picture above, this one, and the one below. They are stunning, and would make a beautiful wall cluster!
Can you believe these colors?!
This was unusual.
This was one of my favorite colors.
This was probably my favorite dahlia. I loved the pastel pinkish-coral with strokes of lavender. It looked like it was brushed on!
Afterward, Jesse deserved time at a little shaded park in Canby.
I was born and raised in Oregon but I married an Englishman. My husband, Bill, and I raised 6 children. I love nature, photography, calligraphy, quilting, many forms of art and a variety of music, but most of all I love to spend time with my children and grandchildlren. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology and plan to pursue a lifelong love of learning.
