[Leica] IMG: My First Spider Lily of the Year

[Sonny Carter]

We haven't had too many "hurricane lilies" this year, and I was noticing
only a few in my yard. Maybe our lack of rain prevents them from
sprouting.

Here's a shot from the Wells House in 2012:

A successful one from 2010 where the background helped:

Another from the Wells House much older:  http://www.sonc.com/lily.htm

I could build an album of them, because I  shoot them every year!
