Done … and Goodnight!

DONE! I’m pretty excited: my photos are matted, framed and packed up and I will ship them off to Sierra Art Trails tomorrow morning.

Now I can relax.

Oh. Wait. I have an opera to work on which we begin rehearsing on Thursday, I still have my wonderful students, and I’m playing a little something for the Sierra Art Trails reception so i want to get that in great shape. Besides, I never relax anyway, right?

Go figure! 🙂

This is a little something from our very own yard that I shot today as I arrived home from my walk. I think I’ll make it my goodnight photo since I don’t know if I’ll work on anything else tonight.

… but not completely unfocussed. A very tiny bit of the spadix (the yellow part) and a bit more of the spathe (the white) on the right really is in focus. Promise.

I have a great love for the calla lily (Zantedeschia is the Latin). The lines, the simplicity of color. They just grab my eye any time I walk by them. I have, in fact, a series of six on my desktop, of which this is (as you can see) number one. But it doesn’t end there: yesterday’s walk brought more. I won’t bombard anyone with all of them at once, but I’ll be posting them in bits and pieces ….
