I know this isn't the fall I promised, but it seems fitting for the time of year. I missed my window of opportunity with the shamrocks, but I'm going to sneak this one in before this next holiday.

Your flowers look good enough to eat PJ. They look like they've been sprinkled with pepper. I'm no flower expert but I'm guessing Easter Lily. Do I win anything? I like the way they open up and let the light come inside. They're so fragile looking. Just another excellent post PJ.

I did exactly the same thing PJ ... took some shots of some St. Pat's Day flowers & didn't get them uploaded in time. There's always next year.

Gorgeous lilies that are perfect for this time of year ... the details are amazing too. A wonderful capture PJ ... Happy Easter to you & yours.

I LOVE lillies, and this is a really nice shot of these babies. The DOF seems to fall off awful quick on the middle Lily though. The background lilies actually seem more in focus than the one that our attention is supposed to be fixed on. You might keep all your settings the same but place your autofocus sensor on the stemen of the lilly so that you are sure to get the entire center lilly crisp.
