Although the leaves are turning here in New Jersey and things are beginning to look distinctly orange, I'm still getting some beautiful pink dahlias from the forgotten tubers I planted this spring.
And because I didn't stake them properly, they are all blooming with their faces on the floor of the deck, so I've been cutting them and bringing them inside to enjoy.
And because I'm a lunatic, that enjoyment involves finding the perfect little silverplated pitcher and painted tole tray to style them, and taking way too many photographs of them when I should be doing laundry or straightening the mud room.
Anyway, I hope they bring as much cheer to you as they have to me. Happy Wednesday, dear bloggers! :)

My father always grew dahlias. I'm to lazy to lift them every fall.
ReplyDeleteThey have definitely brought beauty to my life. I love how you styled them.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy playing, the laundry will always be there:)

This is absolutely beautiful! We love all your shots..soft, delicate, and so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love them...you were so right to focus on this rather than the laundry on this day. Ahem...I have so much laundry to do and here I am looking at your beautiful photography. Guess I had better get on that.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!!!

mary your images are always so soft and pretty...mudrooms can wait, that's my motto!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I know what you mean about taking way too many photos while real life is calling you.
ReplyDeleteThese are definitely cheerful, Mary. I especially love how you cropped each one and of course, that awesome watermark just adds to the exquisiteness (I'm not sure that's even a word).
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning!!!

ReplyDeleteHow lovely they are!! I have been enjoying my 1 last rosy dahlia for days now - but outside! I haven't the heart to cut it!!
ReplyDelete;)
so glad you're enjoying them
ReplyDeleteMary, for beauty like this, the laundry and cleaning should be set aside. Sometimes we just have to enjoy the beauty and forget the laundry! laurie
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you put off doing the laundry. These images are absolutely gorgeous!

Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! I wish I had a garden with flowers so beautiful! And yes, the leaves are changing and it's finally getting (and maybe even STAYING) cool here in the Garden State. I'm glad it's still so sunny out though!
ReplyDeletePlaying with flowers and your camera is much more fun than doing laundry or straightening the mud room.

ReplyDeleteLunacy? Maybe, but inspired lunacy! Just beautiful, love the watermark too.
