Canby Dahlia Festival

I had fun today driving the Smartie to Canby, Oregon, about 28 miles from my home. They are holding their annual Dahlia Festival the next 3 days. I showed up to a crowd of early morning photographers already there. It was a local camera club. The sun was luscious as it was just an hour or less from sunrise.

Perfect blooms Bob wish I could grow them like that

Re: Canby Dahlia Festival

What lovely striking colours, Bob!

So clear, so perfect .......I would choose that as a birthday card for someone.

Re: Canby Dahlia Festival

These are commercial growers that sell their flowers all over the world. They are as perfect as they can grow them. I could have stayed hours there but I'll settle for 6 good shots. Thanks for looking.

Re: Canby Dahlia Festival

Again Bob, terrific photography and a beautiful subject.....

Re: Canby Dahlia Festival

Bob, they are stunning.. as a gardener and a photographer I love em

Re: Canby Dahlia Festival

I could see that being done. They remind me of fireworks! LOL

Re: Canby Dahlia Festival

You are right, Bob, they do indeed look like fireworks!

Re: Canby Dahlia Festival

They are lovely photos. Reminds me of my Dad when he had his allotment-he grew Dahlias and entered them into the local flower show. He always won a certificate for his blooms....
