More Flowers

Today is my favorite day of the week, I Heart Macro.  I know mom and I have been pretty silent on the blogging front this week but we have a good excuse, we were prepping for a three day show this weekend.  I will be posting more about it tomorrow, maybe.

So, on with the fun of pictures:


These were shots of a lily in the front flower bed of mom's house.  I just liked how the sun was peeking over the roof of her house with the flower lifted up for some sunshine.  I also liked the second shot because the colors don't even look real, and of course I love all the pollen on the stamen's.





Mom and I finally found a place to eat breakfast on Saturday's.  Ever since our favoritest restaurant left we have been having trouble finding a place to eat at that we both agree on.  Now, we do.  Around the corner of the restaurant was a whole aisle of lilies and these are a few of the pictures I took of them.  If you guys couldn't already tell mom and I love us some flower photos!
