Dahlia Farm Keeper

I returned to the Swan Island Dahlia Farm in Canby, Oregon yesterday morning. I had been to their Dahlia Festival last year and knew the flowers were mature before the festival starting on August 26 this year. Weather has been perfect this Summer.

There are 40 acres of dahlias here, the largest commercial dahlia grower in the world. It's awe inspiring to walk between the rows of every conceivable color and variety of the flower species. There was a camera club of about a dozen members there at sunrise when I arrived. There was no cost to shoot until my heart was content.

Since I know you love birds Phil imagine yourself in an indoor aviary with beautiful examples of every breed of bird you wanted to photograph. It's awesome and it was totally free.
