This Calla Lily enticed me into taking its image to share with the rest of you photographers...

A simple photo of the last of the calla lilies. I pulled a muscle in my upper back this morning, one of those where you're simply reaching for something like you do every day and the body says "nope!" (Typing this is very stressful.) Suffice to say I've not been moving a lot and the callas were available for a photo.

A mother's day gift :)

There’s a special kind of luxury in having nowhere to be and all day to get there. Sunshine, a beautiful turquoise bikini and a rock I’ve claimed as mine. Relaxing might be the plan, but looking hot while doing absolutely nothing, is really just good holiday etiquette.

Calla lily in the studio, January 2016.

Not for everyone! I know...

I love 'abstracting', letting you see pure shape.

Calla Lily at night

Zantedeschia aethiopica

This calla Lily I took on Christmas's Day Last . Due to the cold weather -20degree at night.

All are dead. I just pay tribute to all these plants, as I cannot have any more shots for this year on Calla.

This is one of the best shot that I had.

Looking close...on Friday: Droplets on flowers

These Calla Lilies bloom in a narrow valley along the Big Sur coastline right off the beach. While I stayed in the valley capturing the scene my family was down on the beach taking in the view and stretching their legs. There was a lot of foot traffic with visitors of all types wanting to capture this beautiful landscape.

Take 1 flower, I believe its a calla lily but it looks a bit different to any I've ever seen before :)

A study of Calla Lilies

Interesting colour and texture in a calla Lily.

Calla lily

I dedicate this photo to my beloved father, who passed away ten years ago. The last flower he gave me was a calla lily.

I found out that if you touch a Calla lily, the plant releases a microscopic needle like crystals, that can cause immediate burning, pain and irritation. Ouch! This photo was taken at the Bellagio Botanical Garden in Las Vegas, Nevada.
