Juneuary in Portland

 We can't seem to get more than crumbs of the warm, sunny weather much of our country is having.  Just a little snip here and there for Juneuary in Portland.  When it cleared off for a few minutes on Saturday I ran right out to photograph the very first Dahlia bloom of the season.  They call this type a "novelty" dahlia.  No explanation needed for that!

 Naturally, I had to fool around with those scene features on the big-girl camera.  This is set to yellow only.  I love the way it turned the red parts almost silver.

 This is set to red only.  I probably didn't need to say that - har har!

And this setting turned it into a Zentangle!  I like the way the bud on the left side looks kind of like a little fairie hovering by in a balloon.
Let's have a swap!  I will send you a box of rain and you can send me a box of sunshine.
