VW bus in downtown Portland (and a matching dahlia, Maniac)

Please scroll down to see today's dahlia, Maniac, from Swan Island Dahlias.

I'm over the bridge, across the river, at lunch time on July 23, 2008, when from my park bench I notice an orange VW bus, making the block. I put my sandwich down in its plastic bag and take out my camera. I feel pretty good about my chances of getting a shot. I'm ready. There it is.

Yep, starting to turn left to go around the block again, I'm thinking.
