I like the scent of lily of the valley. Many are now blooming in the garden. I put one of them on my table. You see it in the morning light that comes in with the window open.
Like so many others, also one of my favorites! Sadly, they don't grow in Southern California, but some things are a trade-off! Here, your backdrop is a beautiful foil for the light and shadow!
both the shadow and the pretty flower are worthy of my full attention. But that simple vase with the layers of light, water and refraction brings the two together such that my eyes delight moving through all three elements and back again. Such a well designed arrangement.
@Weezilou There are certainly a lot of flowers in California that I have never seen before. This country would surely be an experience for me. It's nice if you like the little lily of the valley.
@777margo Yes, they are pretty, the little lilies of the valley. I always look forward to her blooming. At the moment everyone in the garden has blossomed. Maybe I'll try another photo - outside.
