Lily in the Sun

Yesterday we had more sun than we do today because of smoke. I thought this flower looked so beautiful in the sun that I just had to grab a shot. @shutterbug49 No theme this week.

@shutterbug49 wow this is amazing! Beautiful light in color. I love how it fills almost the whole frame.

@grammyn I thought about cropping it to fill the frame. But in the end I didn’t.

@shutterbug49 I actually think it’s better like this because it gives me better context with some of the leaves in the background.

@grammyn Thanks. I always welcome feedback.

Lovely light on this lily. I like the scalloped effect of the petals.

That's very pretty, so hope smoke not affecting your breathing?

Glad you decided to grab this shot...it is lovely. Sorry to hear about the smoke; how close are the fires?

[Shutterbug]

@granagringa The Colgar fire is 50 miles away. That is close enough to make the air smell like a campfire, burn our eyes, and spread ash like a soft snow. Not so close as to threaten our home community. We have seen a couple of parking areas set up for RVs that are fleeing the fire areas.

Lovely flower Debbie!
