There are so many flowers blooming here that I have to leave California for a while

in our garden

Home grown blossoming in winter in New Zealand

Some perfect white flowers found in the beautiful Butchart Gardens in Victoria.

The grocery store had a ton of lovely Easter lilies and some calla lilies in 4 different colors.The two below aren't great shots because the lighting was very uneven, but I wanted to show the pretty colors!

Hi all, I hope your having a fun week and not working to hard. ;-)

I don't have any time for new shots at the moment, so here's few I did back in August.

Cheers, Brenda. (-:

Setting it in it's deserved lighting, this traditional calla lily presents it's beauty.

My Calla Lilies did not bloom at all for 2 years, but they liked this year.

Flowers~

Preposterously feminine in their folds, she waits for the rest of the world

to see the wombs of the earth, and life expelled like pollen~

stamens shuddering with life,

slide into the velvet folds of the calla lily~

the most primordial of pleasures.

As you can see I've run out of ideas for titles of callas. Oh well.

This is the pride of Home Depot - not from our garden - but I still think it's almost worthy. I had fun playing with my lights again.

Lighting stuff: I used side lighting here here to create the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. The hero light was a Yongnuo flash in a soft box and was triggered by a Yongnuo trigger.

I have other Calla lily pictures in my cleverly titled Calla Lily set if you like that sort of thing.

As we seem to be drowning in Union flags in the UK at the moment, here's some Photoshop silliness with the calla lily.

This is achieved by following Gavin Hoey's 'Wrap a texture around an object' tutorial:

Incidentally, I once did this to poor Humphrey. I can't remember why.:

Zantedeschia aethiopica, or calla lily hybrid

...in my sister's yard, Liverpool, Texas.

My grandmother carried calla lilies at her wedding and I was always intrigued since we usually associate them with death. A few months before he died, and the last time I saw him, my grandfather asked me to plant some bulbs at her grave though he knew they most likely wouldn't last through the New York winter.

Years later I tried to find some to bury with him but they were not to be found anywhere on Long Island in the summer. A few months later I ended up in California where they literally grow like weeds.

And I carried some at my own wedding.
