This is from a recent visit to the dahlia garden at a county park, about an hour's drive from me, and this was taken with the Nikon D500 using the Nikkor 105mm lens.
Sandi, I've seen (and captured) countless dahlia's with different shapes and colors, but this splendid variant is unknown to me. Mother Nature is still able to surprise us, or is it the grower? 😁 Lovely and well taken capture anyhow!
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!
