luminous red in the Norman church

This amaryllis is in the beautiful floral arrangement created by the lady who was adamant she did not want her portrait taken. I even offered, politely of course, to have one of her flower arrangements in the background.

My Haze's strangers' portrait project seems to proceed in fits and starts.

Continuing my 'red' series with this shot.
What a beautiful colour and I have to say I'm with the lady ;)

It's interesting, Paula, that I've only had 2 or 3 refusals in 33 requests.....

Ha ha yes lucky for us 'photographers' most people don't mind having their photo taken :)

I think, on the whole, folk are also quite trusting. I mean, nobody has ever suspected me of ulterior motives in taking their photo!

Beautiful flowers. A friend of ours has just given us a cutting from his amaryllis plants. We have split it and it is growing beautifully even in our heat at the moment.

A neighbour of mine years ago called her daughter Amaryllis. Not sure I would fancy it for a name and I wonder if the daughter, who will now be grown up, still calls herself by that name.
