Thanks Dave... we were just issued a winter storm warning for the next 3 days. And looking ahead, two more weeks of snow and yuck in the forecast. We are sure paying in spades for our 2012's early dry bug-less spring.

As usual Tess, I like them all but the lily is really beautiful. Nice shot of the downy also.

I love the abstract feel of the first, well taken.
The only problem I've found when I do this and like the end result, getting a similar shot is never that easy.

You are right kerrowdown... that one was actually a fluke that I liked.

Another great series of shots with the first being almost abstract!
Thanks eaglem!

Great stuff! But that second one wow! Such a crisp foreground combined with such a cool bokeh.... like it a lot.
Thank you Jer! The cedar greens are still so dark. In a couple of weeks they will glow with vibrant green.

Thank you SJM! I am looking forward to taking more lily shots today. It is so much fun to sit at the kitchen table and compose and experiment.
