I like them all, but that first picture is really stunning. I think I could only get a picture like that in my fantasies.

Such beautiful dahlia flower photos. They are so amazing. There is a dahlia garden in Volunteer Park in Seattle and I was just there, admiring.

What perfection!
I have to go on night patrol every evening to protect my very few Dahlia flowers from the earwigs and other night crawlers. And I am losing the battle already.

Hi, my name is McKinley, my friends call me Mac.  I am a Siberian Husky who is 12 weeks old.  I have deep blue eyes which make me a handsome pooch.  Some of my friends, like Jo (aka Poetic Shutterbug) call me a hottie.  I'm not sure what that means but I am guessing it is a good thing.
My favorite hobbies are playing, chewing things and watching the San Francisco 49ers and the San Francisco Giants.  I am always open to free tickets.
I want to thank my Mommy and Daddy for taking such good care of me.  And, I want to wish all of you a great weekend.  More to come when Poetic Shutterbug feels like typing for me. xoxo

The following quote by poet Lucille Clifton most adequately describes poetry in its most raw form.
