Lily Closure

Mom: "I'm throwing these lillies away because they've done their time"

Lifecycle Chiaruscuro

From the first pale flush of pink, to the deep burgundy currents of initial death, these Lillies have enchanted me ever since I met them.

Watching two luscious curls disattach and fall gently downward as I fixed my morning tea, they seemed to call out to me to witness their exquisite drama one more time.

Lilies on the Dining Table

Three Lillies left from party a week ago. Have been taking in their scent everyday. Mom replaced them in reduced amount today. Each luscious curling petal seems to stand out more in the cool, diffused, Caravaggio-esque light.

Impromptu use of iPhone camera. Not only has someone borrowed D40x, but just capturing without bringing another clunky gadget into the equation can be very compelling. The more intelligent focussing system of the 3G makes it a worthwhile upgrade when
capturing details like floral anatomy. You're welcome, Steve.
