Again at the Sugar Shack in Lancaster. I never realized that tiger lilies produced berries, but I suppose on second thought, those are really seed pods.

This is one BEAUTIFUL shot!!! The colors are fantastic & I love the yellow lilies behind. The blue sky with good clouds just set everything off.

The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. - Brooks Anderson
Intense focus, PJ and I really like that I can see all the wonderful colors of the other flowers and the blue sky in the background. It makes for a very colorful image and gives great depth to the shot! Nice work yet again!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

What a beauty you have here, my dear! The colors really pop out at you.

Yes, the little black things are lovely and I always admire the shiny black stems as well.
Wonderful capture PJ, especially the inclusion of the unopened buds hanging so gracefully in the background.

Another perfect shot PJ. Striking clarity. I put it on my desktop and I could actually touch it. The berries are a topper for the ice cream. Great job. Terry

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
Great shot indeed, Pj - It somehow has a very strong 3D effect. By the way why "Tiger" and not "Leopard". Tigers have stripes; Leopards have spots (just a thought).

Wow. There's been a lot of comments on this one. I'll just add my two cents in too. The colors on this are so intense! It would be something I would frame for a shady place in my house just to brighten my house up! Perfect

I'm so glad my Dad convinced me to put one of these in my garden. I'm sure mine not as pretty since we're almost in a drought.
it's a wonderful photo, I like how the buds frame the photo.

Excellent shot, PJ. The little "berries" are actually called bulbils and they can be planted and will produce a flowering plant in a couple of years if you take care of them.

I've never actually seen a Tiger Lily until this image. It is breath taking. A wonderful plant and an awesome shot.
