Three's a Crowd

I made a quick run to the Agricultural Farm Park and the gardens were filled with insects and butterflies. It was like shooting fish in a barrel.  The National Capital Dahlia Society Gardens are blooming beautifully so I spent some time in there also.  This particular kind of Dahlia happens to be my favorite, with its very dark green foliage and beautiful hues of pink and orange.  Apparently its a favorite with the bees too.  This is best viewed in Large. 

Thanks to everyone for the congratulations on my success at the County Fair.  Your kind words of encouragement have warmed my heart.
