This is the very first lily in the garden for Spring.
I've heard it suggested that photographs of flowers are not a good idea and certainly not something you'd put into your portfolio unless they are truly awesome images. This image does not fall into that category but it does have a great form I want ed to show off here.
I am looking forward to having plenty spring flowers including lilies at hand to keep our home feeling bright and cheerful. I might even photograph a few more of them.
