Not Just Dahlias

Posted on by Pat D

The dahlias along the boulevard are looking spectacular and speak so well of the City and it’s citizens, many thanks always to the Generous Gardeners. But it’s not just the dahlias…..there’s amazing choreography to the selected plantings done each year and those deserve some applause and attention too. All of it seems to be more beautiful since Sept. 11 2001.

It’s always great to get feedback from our followers. Sharing photos sent from Cat Cavallini in response to Friday’s skies and storm clouds. She says:

“hey pat I loved and appreciated your GMG photos this morning of the storm coverage! I barely made it back kayaking from 10 Pond  to Niles Beach and it was a stormy scary blast🤪 I was shocked how windy it got when I finally made it back to shore. Gotta love the weather up here it’s magnificent!  have a great weekend.
