This little beauty has special significance for me -- my wife's bridal bouquet was comprised of Lilies of the Valley. In a way, they are sort of a metaphor for her. At first glance you are attracted by their obvious charm; then, when you look inside [not so easy to do], you discover their true beauty.
Welcome/Willkommen!
Hello and welcome. Hope you enjoy the images I have posted. Please do not reproduce them without my permission. Most are available as note/greeting cards or as prints/enlargements. Thank you for visiting my site and your comments.
Many have asked about the Header image above, which I named 'Eerie Genny'. It was originally shot with film [taken on the shore of the Genesee River near the Univ. of Rochester]. During the darkroom development, I flashed a light above the tray. The process, known as 'solarization', produces eerie, ghostlike effects; some have mistaken this image as an infra-red photo. Some 35+ years later, I scanned and digitized the print, and did a little modern day editing, and, voila.

Lilies of the Valley [Today's Flowers]
This little beauty has special significance for me -- my wife's bridal bouquet was comprised of Lilies of the Valley. In a way, they are sort of a metaphor for her. At first glance you are attracted by their obvious charm; then, when you look inside [not so easy to do], you discover their true beauty.

One of my favorites...I love the colorful treasure inside of them too! So elegant and beautiful!
Cool beans Stan. Don't you love those dark backgrounds? You do a great job with the text added to your photos.
Looks like you have a LOT of blogs to check in on...That didn't take long.
Such a quick study.
I also love lily of the valley! You have done a great job!! I have tried to capture these flowers, and I know how hard it is!!
I love these little blossoms. They are fragrant, and they have a way of illuminating dark places in the woods. They are wonderful.
O so very lovely! These flowers are so delicate and romantic!
Beautiful pictures with these beautiful lilies. Saludos.
I am not a photo freak, even when I can appreciate composition, resolution, focus and such. I am more of an horticultural creative critic in the tropical/urban context.
Your blog is unique. There are not many men with blogs worthy of merit.
Until then. I will continue my vocation. Setting trends in the concrete/asphalt isle.
Wonderful photoes of this delightful flower ! I am impressed knowing how difficult these are to capture in picture so beautiful in nature and in your your photoes too ! Best regards from Helsinki !
Enjoyed several of your posts/photos.. Wife and I went through NewYork on way to Cape Cod
Stan, I love these perfect little clusters and wish that we could regularly get them where I live... simply divine!
Bises,
Genie
They give off such a wonderful aroma! Mmmmm. I wish they bloomed for a longer season, though.
Such a delicate looking little flower with so much beauty, great macro shots.
I'm running a little behind on my Today's Flowers visits. :)
