The Lily, One For The Road

This, my seventy-fifth post, was inspired by Mike’s Look at Life photo of old metal. This old truck, I think, makes a great back drop for this Lily. Enjoy and thanks Mike!

I took this shot last year in August and wanted to capture how is seems to have stars implanted in the leaves. They seemed to shimmer in the sun and I wanted to get close and try to capture how beautiful this flower is. May I direct your attention to the lower right hand corner.

More On The Amazing Lily

The Lily not only is beautiful but also an important part of the flow and rhythm of my little corner of the world. One way it does this is by providing hunting opportunities for insects. Here is one of my favorite little hunters on the hunt among the Lilies.

For The Love Of The Lily

The love I have for the Lily comes from working in a friends garden several years ago. I was tasked with job of getting the garden prepped and ready for a Garden Show. One of many tasks was the job of replanting hundreds of these lovely flowers. As I began working with them I became aware how fragile they can be if missed handled. But what struck me was even though fragile in one way they are surprisingly strong and tough. They will survive all types of weather and still show great beauty always. Here is for the love of the lily!

Why Am I Awake?

Unfortunately it was an hour and a half “nap” so as Yoda would say ” Awake , I am, hum” or something along that line. So post I will! Here is a picture I took recently of a church off a back road’s back road.

Saying Goodnight To The Day

As the last of the days rays retreat into the horizon I take a walkabout our place. I am in search of the doe that I believe beds down somewhere on our place. I get near the creek that runs across the back side of our place and the light is fading but the bugs are not! I head back in and find these little daisies readying for bed on my way back.
