The Great Dalia Show, Part 1

Well, I'm landed, grounded, and acclimated here in Walnut Creek. Now I'm sitting in the old office, catching up with my old friends at work, getting updates on my various projects. While visiting the family up north, we had the opportunity to head for a Dalia show.

The variety and differences in colors were amazing. They're sort of like dogs; you could look at two and think them members of completely different species, but actually they can be cross-bred and are intermixed, despite the incredible variation.

I enjoyed the show, and it gave me an opportunity to play with my macro, portrait, and other settings on my system.
