Hugging dahlias

The dear friends who hosted us during this trip to Portland live a very short drive from a gorgeous dahlia farm. 

Elsa took it upon herself to hug all the dahlias that she thought were pretty (which were most of them), and our friend kindly obliged her request to photograph her doing so. 

She even kissed some of them. 

There are many more photos of Elsa looking darling hugging flowers, but I'll save the rest of them for the grandmas :)
