“Every day is a new day” continues to be my mantra as we have been exploring around Oregon and taking in all the nature and beauty. I never knew much about and still don’t know much about Dahlias, but I have never seen SO many colors and variety of shapes in one flower breed. I could live in the fields and never be bored with all the different colors. This field and farm was along the side of a busy road just outside of Corvallis.

Later in the day we drove up to Marys Peak, Oregon where we took a hike in the middle of dense woods along the ridge line. So amazing to see how the trees grow out from the soil and straight up to the sky searching for the sun…

All that within a 10 mile radius! That closeup shot of the flower is stunning!
