Yesterday at the Santa Barbara Farmers Market, all types of flowers were displayed. We were drawn to these dahlias pictured above. For us, they are a great expression of this quote:
Flowers...are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wishing you a delightful rest of the day and evening, and a wonderful week ahead.

Those are luscious looking blossoms, Ron and Alexandra. The colors remind me of those used in my daughter's recent wedding.

Marie-Denise Kratsios we have in Santa Barbara lots of greenhouses and growers who treat us to some of the most amazing specimens of flowers. And these dahlias are a prime example of it. A
Hi Ron and Alexandra Seigel - What a wonderful picture of dahlias. I enjoyed the subtle coloring.
Those are such great looking flowers! The orange inside there surprises me, but certainly adds to the beauty.
Good morning Ron and Alexandra - flowers can brighten the mood of the day. Thanks for brightening mine.
