As I raced through my morning routine yesterday, I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw how the light caught the petals of this lily. The blooms looked translucent and were full of grace and form. I loved the way they separated from the background. Immediately I grabbed my camera. Maybe that's why I love the still image so much. It has the power to make you stop, to make you be still if only for a second as you observe what is before you. A still moment in this frenetic, fast paced world....there's something to be said for that. The rest of my day was just that. At day's end I had forgotten my still moment and I forgot to post. A day later the still moment is still worth sharing.

LILY
