Sometimes as the quality of our northern light cools rapidly into the blue-greys of autumn, bright coloured dahlias can look strangely out of place, but if there’s enough dark green still in the garden their vibrant presence makes a welcome cheery picture.
And, the dark red of dahlia Arabian Night appears particularly rich in the late-afternoon autumn sunlight.
What amazing colours!
Yes, mother nature can be pretty glorious sometimes.
What a lovely final act for the garden! Great pics – like how you captured the raindrops.
Thank you. I tried to get all of them in the same shot, but it lessened the impact of their colour and then you couldn’t see the raindrops at all.
