Lovely Lilies





Nothing was working.  My usual table was covered with craft projects, I grabbed a shiny wood table instead.  I couldn’t find the right vase.  The vases were too short, too tall, too skinny, or too wide.  I went with the vase that was too wide.  It looked like it was going to tip over, so I put black rocks in the bottom to anchor it down. 

Then I put the vase in front of my go-to-window for pictures.  I began shooting.  
It worked.

I always find it amazing when I don’t think anything is going right, and then out of nowhere it all comes together perfectly.







Today I am linking up with Kim Klassen’s Friday Finds.

My Friday Finds are these lovely lilies and learning to let go of how I think things should be, and enjoying what is.

Both photos were textured with kk_touchof-1.

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great weekend!

  1. Sooo beautiful Michelle!! I love the way the lilies droop to the side, and the black rocks in the bottom. I've had those kind of photo shoots, and when it comes out perfect, what a great feeling! Magic!

  3. I would say you did it perfect, what a wonderful image. I love callas anyway because they are so simple and stately. But you have photographed just so wonderfully. Beautiful work Michelle.
