Friday Flowerblogging

This is the Vorlon Wife’s lily. She bought and planted it a few years ago. It comes up every year and flowers. Although each bloom only lasts one day, it has enough buds that it blooms for almost two weeks.

The plant is both my delight and frustration. Delight in that we enjoy its flowers every year. Frustration in that I photograph it a lot, but have yet to get just the shot I want.

This one is not too bad, but I brightened it up quite a bit. By photography, window opportunity is weekends and evenings. Since both flowers and light are fleeting, it rather limits my opportunities for the “just right” picture.

Outstanding. I just have to get a better digital camera and get the 'edge software' that you use.

Thank you!

I have a Canon PowerShot A60. It's all of 2 Megapixels. But since I rarely print out my photos and mostly post them to the web, that's enough for my purposes. As it is, I still have to knock the size down so they download in a reasoable time. Also with a 512MB memory card in the camera I can take about 600 photos before I run out of space.
