Gorgeous, Dale!
Thank you! This bloom only lasted a day … so I was glad to have gotten some decent shots! ๐
Perfect timing!
An admirable study. I really like how you get closer and closer and closer.
Thank you! Had excellent light that day: overcast but with plenty of soft white sunlight getting through, so that helped me get in close with decent detail. Thanks for the comment!
A beauty!
Thank you! Lilies are a lot of fun to photograph! ๐
