You photographed this perfectly… just the right depth of field.

  You are too, too kind, RMW—I rather think I just got lucky, but I’m delighted that you like the result! 🙂

  Yeah, I must say, it’s been pretty delightful down here of late. I’ll be up in the city next weekend, though, and I see the forecast looks rather frigid, so I suppose I’ll be doing my share of shivering soon. In the meantime, thank you, John, for the kudos on the pic!

Lucky you!!!
It’s 21 below 0 here, and that is not factoring in the strong winds. 😦
Beautiful lily, and such a wonderful color, Kenn.

  21 below zero?! Where are you, Antarctica?! And I think I’m all tough and rugged when I sleep with the a/c at 68 degrees. Sheesh, Lisa, stay warm—if that’s possible. (And thanks, as always, for your kind words.) 🙂

  Actually, we’ve been enduring a bit of a chill down here lately—could get into the low 60s tonight. Brrrr! 🙂
