Sometimes you just know...

Its funny but sometimes when buying a flower, when taking a shot, I just know the product is going to be something great.

Sometimes the little voices in my head send me 30 minutes out of my way to a floral shop I haven't visited in a couple of weeks with whispers that they have something special.  And such was the case this afternoon on my way back from downtown. Experience has taught me to generally heed the little voices so long as they aren't urging me to set fires or ram into other cars (j/k) but in seriousness I rolled on down to Highlands Ranch as suggested. 

Waiting for me was the Octoberfest celebration (yes, I'm aware that its September.  evidently they were confused...), a re-arrangement of my photos on the shop's art rail (which I wasn't thrilled about), and some sunset-hued dahlias.  In the car, on the ride home, they glowed.  On the camera screen they burned.  And the resulting images were like stars in the night.
