Lily of the RainThe yard is a completely different place in the rain. Unfortunately for my camera I love the look of the flowers when it's raining. It's not just the drops of water. If it was I could just spray them. The soft lighting from the clouds changes the feel of the photo completely. |

Agapanthus BudsAnother of my rare morning shots. The light is nice in the morning, and I really try to take advantage of it when I am conscious. But that is a rather rare occurrence in the morning. |

Agapanthus in the RainIt rained heavily last night, and this morning we got to see the SUN! It has been gray for so long I did not know how to act!Yeah I did, I grabbed my camera! I was up uncharacteristically early waiting for a ride, but as a reward I got to enjoy the morning sunlight in my front yard. |

The Agapanthus are Coming!There are a lot of Agapanthus around our home and they are looking like they are about to burst! I took this one today on a walk with The Hound.My botanist tells me that Agapanthus is derived from the Greek word "agapé" meaning love and "anthos" meaning flower. And for those really interested in the botany, the group of flowers all radiating from the center with equal length "pedicles" (or individual flower stalks) is called an "umbel." An umbel is a kind of "inflorescence," which is a botanical term referring to a group or cluster of flowers and specifically the structure of that group. Ahhh the Internet, what can\'t it teach you? |

Backlit AgapanthusLast week, when I was loading my Jeep for a show, I was fortunate enough to catch the sun at a great angle on our little front yard area. On a Saturday my Hound Dog and I would have still been quite unconscious at this time.This is a variety of Lily native to South Africa. It grows like wild around here, and it's beautiful when they really get going. |
