Well sometimes you're cracking up and sometimes you're flipping out. These little flowers reminded me of the way we used to wear our hair in a flip. I love the different stages of opening on these lilies of the valley. They are one of my favorite spring flowers and their fragrance is currently perfuming my home.

What a lovely and simple post Hilda with perfect clarity and wonderful little white heads ... oh yes, the flip...how well I remember it :) You've got a keeper her and besides, lily of the valley is one of my favs and smells so yummy. Thanks for this one.

After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.

it looks like you made some of these glow... but then I realized that it's just the impression given by a lighter leaf in the background. Very nice capture.

Great capture! The flowers are just looking like "glowing in the dark" bells. Perfect DOF. Very well done!

Funny, I just planted my lily of the valley from the flower show yesterday. It had already been forced into bloom earlier, so I hope I can take a pic of my own next spring. I love your title, Hilda, and the image is divine!!

Oh, I love these! The scent is heavenly. I can never get them to grow though. You have done this so nicely and spotlighted the dainty white bells. Thank you.
