Dahlias at Brookside Gardens - Roy and Dolores Kelley Photographs

Brookside Gardens is one of our favorite places to visit in Montgomery County, Maryland.  Dolores and I like to attend the flower shows, the exhibits in the Conservatory and take walks through the gardens when the flowers are blooming.

If you live in the area and have not been to Brookside Gardens, now is the time to see and enjoy the Spring Exhibit that is now featured in the Conservatory.  Admission is free and you will enjoy the experience.  Brookside Gardens is located in the Wheaton Regional Park.

The photographs below were taken during the Dahlia Show sponsored by the National Capital Dahlia Society at Brookside Gardens.

Be sure to have your camera in hand to capture those special moments when you are out and about in your community or during your travels.  Life is better when there are flowers to photograph.

Those are Dahlias? I guess I am not familiar with that flower or that isn't what I thought they looked like.

Great pictures!

Roy- I scrolled through to play a little game with myself called "Which one is my favorite?" but couldn't do it.  They're all my favorites!

It is sometimes good to revisit old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for new posts.
