Nicely done. You and I certainly seem to be on the same page lately with the lily pics. I like the colors here, and they're just so gorgeous this season that they're hard not to photograph. But I disagree with the running away portion of your narrative. Wind, don't ya know :) :)
"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
