Orange and Blue Dahlia
by Allison Fine, MSW, LICSW
Flowers are a reminder of the beauty that exists in this world, despite the challenge and struggle so many experience day to day. I find dahlias particularly intriguing because of their circular, mandala-like patterns. Taking and editing photographs allows me to find my own peace and calm amongst the suffering I hear from others.
