We haven't had frost yet, but the flowers around here are getting tired. Some of them refuse to show up at all. But those who do, like these sassy dahlias from the Carrboro Farmers' Market, are putting their all into one last dance.
Donna Summer, eat your heart out.
I really love the way you captured these flowers! I love the lines, the energy of it all, it's stunning!

I really enjoy all the variations of line you incorporate. Wonderful energy! Watch out dahlias!

My dahlias are starting to droop ~ but oh, how lovely they were this year. I had one that looked like a firework display. They are quite an inspiring flower ~ the colors and various shapes ~ and you captured their liveliness wonderfully in their last performance.

Dahlias are such dramatic flowers to begin with, and you really caught their exuberance.

Gorgeous freedom of expression wherever I look here, Laura. Love your new blog layout and all the sketches in France and now the flowers.

Beautiful!
All of the flowers have gone here in the UK now. It's crispy orange leaves instead! :0)
