Tiger lily

The tiger lily nestles close to the southeast eve of the house. I thought it got sun only in the afternoon, but I noticed this morning that a shaft of sunlight fell on the lily and not much else around it.

The blossom faces downward as if it's embarrassed by its beauty. I had to tinker with the exposure on my camera to keep the stark light from overpowering the color.

It was a beautiful thing to behold for a few moments. When the position of the sun changed a few degrees, the lily went back into shadow.

  3. Tiger lilies. Beautiful. Tiger lilies were one of the first flowers I recognised as a child on my grandmother's farm. I loved the colours and the spots and wondered why,because they didn't have stripes,they were called tiger lilies.
    I had a lot to learn when I was four!

  4. I must admit I am envious at how your eye and the camera work together. I know that is something that doesn't happen. I always enjoy this visit. Good line about the flower and its beauty. Nice.
