Lots of photos today!


We drove to Canby today to go to Swan Island Dahlias, and stopped off at Willamette Falls for photos. I remember one year when I brought my dad-in-law out this way, there was a huge amount of water going over the falls. But not now.

It was pretty all the same, though.


We arrived at Swan Island Dahlias, but they’d closed the day before! We couldn’t go inside the rows, but did go along the perimeter of the fields.





Then we drove around the area for a bit… horses!!

We saw this interesting rig… can you see the spikes on the wheels? Ouch.


We ended the day with a perfectly lovely sunset.

I love dahlias. I call them the showgirls of the flower world. It’s hard to take a bad photo of a dahlia.
Oh, I love that!! “Showgirls of the flower world”. What a perfect description of them. Mahalo nui for sharing your awesome word poetry.
