Before the sun...

I was out (that crazy neighbor is out there again) taking some pictures and noticed the day lilies had bloomed. But of course they are not open because it was before 7a.m. Thought it made a nice photo anyway.

We have them in our garden, they never look as nice as this one does.

Great capture, especially because it is closed! It's more unusual, you know? I like the black background too.

[Kay Hodges]

Nice capture and lovely shot

[Alison Roberts]

Fabulous shot Joan and definitely a FAV!

[Joan Robillard]

@perspectivesimages Thanks Alison, I have to look to find a flower.

[Taffy]

Wonderful clean lines -- makes for an elegant shot.

[Sharron Green]

Fav! Terrific shot. Were you in your pj's again??.....

[Joan Robillard]

@atwinfay No I actually got dressed this time because I was out there to photograph drops which I may or may not post. And didn't want to get on the ground in my pj's. LOL No wet pj contestant here.

[Firefly]

absolutely gorgeous!!

[Lyn Berriman]

LOOOOOOOOOVely!

[Terri Morris]

This is very striking against the black.

[Janiskay]

Still a nice capture.

[Yolanda]

Lovely shot!!

[Richard Sayer]

Taffy said it best... it's a very elegant shot and the black background really makes the image pop. Excellent work Joan.

[Francoise]

the black background is fabulous. How did you make that happen?

[Joan Robillard]

@francoise I use Lightroom and take a brush and set to a very low exposure wipe it over the background which was already dark and it goes black. The picture was taken at a smaller aperture already.

@joansmor Funny, Joan! Have a good weekend.
