Dew It Up

My mom bought this awesome lily plant for her friend at work who had a birthday this week. Well, I had to capture it's excellence this morning. The indoor shots were kinda tough (lighting is difficult before the sun comes up!). The outdoor shots were really fun, and later when the sun was coming in nicely through our east-facing windows. That low-angle lighting makes for great stuff.

And I've tried a few times and haven't quite gotten it, but the grass with all of those little tiny drops of dew on them look so awesome. This was the best I could do, but you really have to experience that one yourself to get the full effect of awesomeness as the sun reflects off of the little sea of dew. Regardless, this morning was quite beautiful, to say the least.

I won't even lie... I'm really proud of these shots.

When Will It Stop?

Could these get any cooler? I swear, I'm never going to take pictures of anything else as long as the lilies and amaryllis are around because they are looking so dang cool! And there are still quite a few buds that haven't opened in the lilies, so I'm looking forward to that!

Break of Dawn

I was up early today. It's been a while since I've seen a sunrise. Haha. But it sure was neat. They always are. And I keep loving the lilies my mom received for her birthday. And two of the amaryllises we've got are blooming. They're so cool.

Celebration

Happy Birthday to Mom! These are a few things we got for her. And as a thoughtful son, I thought she'd enjoy some flowers in addition to the presents we got her. ;)
