Check out my Inflammation

Last weekend my good Pal Kathy and I went to the Swan Island Dahlia Festival here in Oregon.  We walked the fields and perused the displays.  The variety and beauty of the flowers were amazing!  And, yes, this Dahlia is actually called Inflammation.  The name was so funny, I had to post it.

Above you see the incredible symmetry and detail of this flower.  Even the honey bee finds this beauty  worthy of attention. 

There are all kinds of varied colors and shapes, as you can see from the photo above.  Of course, the reason I posted this particular Dahlia was to be able to say, "Check out my Inflammation."  Something about that statement hits my funny bone!

Have a lovely weekend. 

I Love You -Guest Heart Thursday

What an astonishing find!  I couldn't believe it when I spotted these lovely hearts in the center of these beautiful pink flowers.  As you can see--they are perfectly shaped.  Another amazing heart from nature's heart.  It is as though this beautiful flower sends us a special message from the Creator.  I love You.  Ah, we must watch for these precious love letters from the One who loves us so very much.
