This is the first one of a new series. I have the intention to provide you the coming weeks (only on Foofy Friday's) with an image of this series.

I knew that a family, living on the peninsula South-Beveland, Zeeland, The Netherlands, is famous four growing their dahlia's in their two gardens. I was told that on Saturday September 12th, 2015 and Sunday September 13th, 2015 there was an opportunity to visit these gardens. So I did a phone call, and asked whether I could take some pictures there in order to upload them to Caedes. I was more than welcome. The result was that at the end of the Sunday afternoon I went home with 167 dahlia captures 'in the pocket' and a bouquet with really splendid dahlia's, the latter offered to me by the family.

PS:

1. To put you at ease (lol), I'll provide you only with a selection of the results of this photo shoot;

2. I like to use this opportunity to say 'Thanks' to this family for their generous, and very much appreciated, gesture!

Cornelius - A beautiful bloom! Framed, as you have done it, this bloom is jumping off the screen tickling my nose.
