just when you think it's safe to go back in the water
will no one rid me of these troublesome lilies?? --apologies (not many) to henry II, speaking of thomas becket)
Standing, The lilies are gorgeous. How could you even attempt to resist to capture their beauty?
I love the light and vivacity of the pictures!!!
A flower's appeal is in its contradictions - so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect. ~Terri Guillemets
I need to get out of the sweets shop. Seriously, I'm questioning myself about why your lily series translates to food for me. But it does, and I have to say it the way it feels to me. The top shot makes me think of a beautifully decorated cake with glace and a sprinkle of fuchsia confectioner's sugar.
That's well and good, but the next two do more for my senses. I believe the stamens and anthers would make a soft, but audible sound as they peel away from the petal. And, I swear, I almost literally see motion in the bottom frame. I know that's sunlight, but the picture puts me in mind of the lovely little song Dancing in the Moonlight. Very delightfully presented!
Damn doubletroublesome lilies! Those were some awesome reds and "Blues."

ReplyDeletegabi-i love the last line of your quote. perhaps what we aspire to as well?
The flowers are too pretty to suffer the same fate as Thomas Becket.
ReplyDeletekirk-and thomas becket was too good a man to suffer the fate that he did.

short in life yet long on effect – what else can we aspire for?
ReplyDeleteFlowers are a great sample of how we should embrace the gift of life…
