A Flower's Tears

Some pollen had fallen on the petal of this lily, reminding me of tears.

WOW - Great clarity - love this against the black, really pops.

Beautiful light and shadows, and so appropriately titled! I cry when I get lily pollen on my clothes because it is so hard to wash out! (I do a little floral arranging, and sometimes I snip that pollen off! )

[Alison Tomlin]

Such great detail and so delicate.
