Lilies

by | Mar 3, 2009 | Flowers | 3 comments

I’ve recently photographed several lilies in various colors and varieties. In my neighborhood in the summer, it’s not uncommon to see a garden with several types of lilies. However, the local lilies just don’t compare to the ones I’ve been photographing at some nearby botanical gardens.

Here are some of my favorite lilies I’ve recently photographed.

I don’t know what the weather has been like where you live – but it’s been cold and snowy here in Bethesda. So I figured a nice sampling of lilies would remind all of us that better weather is coming.

    Nice. I’m especially enjoying the white ones at the top against the black background. Love the contrast and tones.

    These do add a lot of brightness to my day. The lilies are lovely. I visited your website, and it is full of wonder and beauty, too.

    I really enjoy your flower photos, especially the low key.
