Beneath the Dahlia



Beneath the Dahlia, photo by Harold Davis. View this photograph larger.

We are trained to view flowers by looking down at them. Or, on occasion, at the level of the flower—for example, when smelling a rose climber.

It’s amazing to me what a different view there is from beneath a flower. For example, this rear view of a dahlia in my garden shows the true transparency and elegance of the flower glistening with water and sunshine early in the morning.
