This Dahlia changed dramatically as it aged. It was originally a pastel pink and the center turned completely white and the outside went a bit purple. I’m so fascinated by how dramatic the change was. This is the same flower as the one after the orange Dahlia. #Dahlia #flower #flowersofinstagram #pacificnorthwestflowers #floralphotography #flowerphotography

Last week Monday I was playing with some of the flowers from the ones i picked out the first time at the Dahlia garden. It’s so fascinating how they change over time. I love how this one still looks fresh and beautiful in the center while the outside is dry, wilting, and dark. This is the cute round one that was the first one I posted from the first group of studio flowers. #Dahlia #flower #flowersofinstagram #pacificnorthwestflowers #floralphotography #flowerphotography

The next photo of this spindle will be the final photo before the baton passing to the next spindle. The next spindle will be my Tulipwood Lark which was the very first Jenkins spindle I picked out in person when I met Ed and @wjjenkins in person for the first time back in 2013. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #threewatersfarm #twfaug18 #jenkinsturkishspindle #Big15JenkinsSpin

Playing catch-up on my big 15 Jenkins spin photos. Today I finished this spindle so I’ll have a few more photos before I share the next spindle. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #threewatersfarm #twfaug18 #jenkinsturkishspindle #Big15JenkinsSpin

My big 15 Jenkins spin continued into my special TdF 2013 Walnut Aegean. I love the cute little spiders and ladybugs Ed added to this beauty. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #threewatersfarm #twfaug18 #jenkinsturkishspindle #Big15JenkinsSpin

Oregon Flame Maple Egret turtle complete! This spindle makes me so happy. It’s amazingly light at only 1.1oz and has the coolest little worm holes. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #threewatersfarm #twfaug18 #jenkinsturkishspindle #Big15JenkinsSpin

I've been working on getting my big 15 Jenkins spin done as quickly as possible as I'll need to free up the spindles for a new @plymagazine article I'll be doing for next summer's Spindle Issue! I've currently finished 5 and have 10 more to go for a total of 150 more grams to spin! #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #threewatersfarm #twfaug18 #jenkinsturkishspindle

The bees are mighty busy over at this Dahlia garden visiting all of the gorgeous flowers. Their favorite flowers seem to be the white ones which often have 2-3 bees each! #Dahlia #flower #flowersofinstagram #pacificnorthwestflowers #floralphotography #flowerphotography #bees #honeybee #busybee

Last week I stopped by our neighbor down the road to photograph their beautiful Dahlias as well as drop them off a few prints I made from the shoot I did with the first batch of flowers. I’ve been wanting to go down their so badly but the smokey air has been so awful. Hopefully I’ll be able to drop by very soon! #Dahlia #flower #flowersofinstagram #pacificnorthwestflowers #floralphotography #flowerphotography

Nearly forgot that I can share this project now that these knots are in @judyawhitton’s hands. Mom found this gorgeous yarn on Facebook and asked me if I could find and knit something with it. She didn’t have anything in mind so I picked out Peace Cowl and I designed a pair of mitts to coordinate with it. The slip stitch pattern pulled out the colors of the yarn beautifully. #knittersofinstagram #igknitters #knittersofig #knitting #knitting_inspiration #instaknit #i_loveknitting #handknitcowl #projectpeace #malabrigo #malabrigoyarn #whalesroad #knittingformymom

I'm having such a blast taking photos of these Dahlias. I'm looking forward to picking out the best photos to make prints for the owners of these flowers. I'm also thinking about doing a new self portrait featuring one of these beauties. Should be fun! #Dahlia #flower #flowersofinstagram #pacificnorthwestflowers #floralphotography #flowerphotography

Yesterday I took a photo trip down to Snoqualmie Falls. Had an absolutely great time. This boulder was huuuge! It was a great opportunity to play with long exposure shots of the water. This of course is not a long exposure. :) #snoqualmiefalls #snoqualmieriver #snoqualmie #pacificnorthwest #westernwashington

Spent some time today photographing the last two Dahlias I picked up from our neighbor down the road. I'll be posting a few more to share with you all. I'm excited about this submission as I'm trying out an Instagram app on my computer so I'm looking forward to easier uploading of my DSLR photos w00t! #Dahlia #flower #flowersofinstagram #pacificnorthwestflowers #floralphotography #flowerphotography

I spun a wee bit on my little Bee today and could not resist taking a few photos of it with the giant Dahlia. This flower is 9 inches wide! #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #Dahlia #flower #flowersofinstagram #pacificnorthwestflowers #floralphotography #flowerphotography

This huge Dahlia is so incredible. I had to switch out from shooting with my macro to my normal lens so I could capture it easier. I’m so glad I was able to pick a few from their garden to take home. ❤️ #Dahlia #flower #flowersofinstagram #pacificnorthwestflowers #floralphotography #flowerphotography

On the way to the store I noticed that the couple who own the most gorgeous Dahlia garden I’ve ever seen were out working in the garden. I have been meaning to introduce myself for a few years now and ask if they’d mind if I come over and photograph their garden. I parked and got to talk to them for a bit. They were absolutely delightful. They let me cut a bouquet and said I can come over any time to take photos. I’m so excited to have some flowers to play with in the studio, it’s been years and years since I’ve done studio floral shots. I’m looking forward to stopping by the garden and photographing the flowers especially with little bees buzzing about. The garden was like a bee haven with more honey bees than I’ve seen in a long time! 🐝❤️ 🌸 #Dahlia #flower #flowersofinstagram #pacificnorthwestflowers

My big 15 Jenkins spin is still ongoing. Hoping to finish this Egret within the next couple days and then it’s onto the next spindle. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #threewatersfarm #twfaug18
