Dahlia in Vancouver

In early September 2006, we visited Vancouver in Canada. In one of our aunt's garden, she had some beautiful dahlias. Of course, our cameras were up and we got some nice shots.

Here is one of them. This picture was taken later in the afternoon so the lighting was soft and nice. We did not bring our micro lens with us but it was fine using a regular zoom lens since the flower was huge.

Thanks to Linda who told me this is dahlia.
