I am loving going through these old photos again. I think I need more calla lilies in my life!
February 13, 2010
I have lived in my home for nearly 16 years now. About 10 years ago some bluebells started growing in the back yard. I never planted them, they just came up. Every year for the past 5 or so years the greens of a daffodil that I never planted grow, but never flower. This year it did. The last 3 years the greens from this calla lily started growing and never bloomed. This year there are 3 flowers.
It is like there is a ghost of the original gardener tending the gardens in my yard.

Our still-life and studio photography is all about the right lighting and setting. Nature is our Mainspring!

Calla lilies are said to come from the ancient god Hera, the wife of Zeus. In the story, Zeus brought Hercules to nurse from his wife while she was sleeping. He wanted his son to have the strength of the gods. Hera awoke and pushed the baby away from her. Drops of milk flew across the sky creating the milky way and everywhere they landed on earth, calla lilies bloomed.
Although my garden is a wreck, and the weeds are now taller than I am, and it's all full of chiggers, at least my Calla Lilies, which I grow in pots, put on a good show this year.
Rather heavily edited. But they so look so grand in the setting sun.
I haven't gotten much done on all the work I have to accomplish this summer. Things keep happening which take up my time... like, our toilet broke, we finally got a new microwave installed and it is hanging crooked, the pool pump broke, and now my car is leaking gas and it will be days before my garage can come pick it up.
So, I'll have to keep on skipping commenting on many nights, to get a bit more time for getting things done.
Oh, and this was a Focus Stack of about 25 images, so I am putting it into the 100x group.

I decided to do a little macro work with this lily that we happened to have in the house.
Every year at this time I gather a few wild Calla Lilies from the coast and spend hours having creative time.
