Dahlias

Admiring late summer dahlias at our local farmer’s market, I was suddenly struck by the eye looking back at me.

The image reminds me of an exercise we were given during the Miksang Institute Summer Program, titled “paste-ups”. It’s fun to look for such scenes; no digital compositing required!
