The second colorful work of calla for the gallery, often we prefer an expression in black and white, because we feel oversaturated with too many different colors in one motive. This one feels neat and still calm.
Shot in my basement just playing around.

I had never seen these dark-purple-in-the-center calla lilies before. They had a few of them at the local superstore when we stopped on mother's day. So pretty!
