I made another visit to the Stotts Garden, which is amazing in its overall beauty. Flowers upon flowers as well as many trees and the rustic feel is wonderous.

This pretty lily caught my eye.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

Editing: resized, slight cropping and a light touch on the framing. Canon 450D with the canon 70-300 IS USM lens was used. Hand held.

Lovely image and nice lighting. I like the dew drops on the bottom side of the petals also. Good Job!

Lily looks like she is tired from a hard day of flowering Tigz.
Tell them overweight bumblebees to leave her alone.

I like the mood very much.

I see that I am not the only one who thought this was very good. It has already been put up for review to the AC. Best wishes with that, Sandi.

Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I could, I would give you an award. But alas, I cannot. So the highest praise I can award you with, is faving your artwork.
