Old House Dahlias dahlia fest was a perfect way to say goodbye to Summer. We drove to Southeast Portland, and found our way into the garden by hand painted signs, a green tractor, and small red barn. Wandering through rows of over 200 varieties to discover blooms I've never seen before was blissful. I loved the dark foliage of new-to-me Japanese Bishop and one of my old favorites, Sherwood's Peach.
I'm already looking forward to next year's Fest and highly recommend purchasing tubers from Old House Dahlias. They're also open for cut flowers for weddings and events until the first frost.

This photo story is especially dear to me because it's all about the launch of my husband's new business: Neises Piano Service.
We spent a beautiful afternoon capturing the details of piano tuning and repair to showcase the craftsmanship and beauty involved in this profession.
I'm back from my road trip and have a handful of images to share of typography I found along the way. The Goodhand theater in Kimball, Nebraska was my favorite...
