Pretty Pink Curls and Curves

I had my shot ready to upload -- it's gloomy, rainy, and I have a b&w shot of a silhouette of a guy with his umbrella up walking by a wrought iron fence. But it felt too gloomy to post a gray-ish looking photo. So, looking around the house, we have a huge bouquet of lilies in full bloom. They were very patient subjects as I let them take turns posing as I fiddled with different settings. This was my favorite. Now I have to get back to work for awhile.
