Anglesey Abbey - The Dahlias

                                                                                                                                     

 Earlier in the year I photographed the wonderful show of snowdrops at Anglesey Abbey near Cambridge. I was back there recently to admire the dahlias. Miserable grey weather was forecast but fortunately they couldn't have been more wrong!







There's a lot more to see besides dahlias of course and more posts will follow.....

Take care.

    I adore dahlias in all their differing varieties/shapes and colours. How lovely to see masses of them like this at Anglesey Abbey. Looks like you had a field day with your camera.

    I am not all thatkeen on dahlias John - they are too formal for me - but I must say that viewed close up they are beautiful.

    In general, I agree with The Weaver of Grass, but your images certainly are striking and sensuous, John.

    Flower fireworks--I have never grown dahlias either--they don't do so well in our climate.

    Such photogenic flowers - I love that deep, deep red one.

    The dahlia photos would make stunning framed enlargements. I'm reminded of posters I've seen of Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings--[I've never seen the originals]
    Do you exhibit any of your photographs?

    Wow, brilliant color and image design with these rich dahlia close-ups! They are like a dazzling fireworks display.
