Shining Brightly
dazzling dahlia
shining brightly in the field
warms my tender heart

This beautiful flower image was taken by my friend Gayle at the Dallas Arboretum. Her photo albums make me want to visit this gem of a garden filled with wildflowers, native plants, Japanese gardens, water features and more. Thanks for sharing the beauty Gayle!

Such beauty in a flower isn’t there. We always walk on bye taking them for granted but when we stop and look they change or thoughts instantly. The haiku fits it well!

Hello Brad,
I can’t seem to open the link but if this stunning capture is anything to go by, Gayle’s site would be a feast for our eyes, and an inspiration for photographers 🙋🏻💐💐

Gayle’s photos are wonderful. The galleries are on Facebook. Maybe it only works for her friends?

Maybe I’ll search her on fb directly Brad.
I’m not sure how it works🤔🤔 Even this platform can be a mystery to me.
Hope you are enjoying your week 🙋🏻💐💐
