I’ve not shared a first shot for a while. These are rarely “keepers” but there always has to be a first shot! Unless there’s no shot at all.
First Shot: Zantedeschia rehmannii, 4.10.18
I sure do get distracted as I meander through April 2017. But distraction is sometimes rather fun.

December Calla Lily (I), 12.24.14
… 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 ….
