2013 Lily Series – 12
Joyful Majesty
Joyful Majesty In Black and White
Joyful = the color yellow
Majesty = a meaning of the Lily in the Victorian Language of Flowers
I had to post both images because…
I loved the cheerfulness of the yellow and the feeling of joy it brought me, especially in the warm glow of the sun. The black and white, however, moved me as well and I loved the contrast.
Dogwood Flowers
On May 30th of 2012 I wrote a post about the Legend of the Dogwood Tree. Please see the post and learn more about the history of the beautiful Dogwood flowers posted this evening. You can access the post by typing in “Dogwood” in the search bar to the right, or by using the calendar on the right. I apologize, but for some reason the hyperlink is not working….hmmm…

A Door Closed is Another Door Open…
“When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” – Alexander Graham Bell
Look Without Regret
“God enters by a private door into every individual.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knock and the Door will Be Opened
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8
Dignity of Light
I love light. That is why I love photography. I look for it everywhere and when I see it I have to capture it. Today’s images are the perfect example. As we were eating dinner on the porch the other evening I noticed the light on the Dahlias. I had to capture it. The title of the post is based on the fact that in the Victorian language of flowers Dahlia’s represent, or mean, dignity. I think after seeing the images you’ll agree, that indeed, the light is demonstrating dignity. Enjoy!

Painting with Light
“Photography” is derived from the Greek words photos (“light”) and graphein (“to draw or paint”).
Painting with Light
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.” – Ansel Adams
The “painting” effect of this image was achieved by motion while the shutter was wide open in addition to over exposing the subject. The subject in this image is a bouquet of pink and yellow Alstroemeria (Lilies).
County Fair
I recently submitted a few images for inclusion in a photography exhibit at the Bucks County Project Gallery, a local gallery for photographic art. The theme of the exhibit was Bucks County food and farms. The image below titled “County Fair” is one of my images selected for inclusion in the exhibit.

Morning Goodness
The milk bottles in the images above are from Penn View Farm. A local dairy that sells milk in glass bottles. The milk is hormone free and the best I’ve ever had.
