Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Lilies

Photographed at the Reader Rock Garden in Calgary, on 8 August 2012. Lilies of any kind are one of my favourite flowers to photograph when I call in at this garden. Friends are posting very recent photos of beautiful flowers, both garden and wild, and I still haven't seen any at all, other than a few Prairie Crocuses. I need to get out very soon! Each of the last two or three springs, what tended to happen was that, by the time I finally did get out there, quite a few of the plants had already developed their seedpods. So many plants seem to last such a short time. The temperature this morning, 29 April 2015, is 11C and the sun is shining. There is a 60% chance of a shower this afternoon, with a temperature of 15C. Hard to believe, but yesterday, the temperature got up to 26C between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm! When I checked the forecast, snow-rain showers are forecast for Sunday. We really need the moisture or we will be heading into drought.

Photographed at the Reader Rock Garden in Calgary, on 8 August 2012. I wasn't sure whether to post the original photo or this one with a "poster edges" filter used in post-processing. Lilies of any kind are one of my favourite flowers to photograph when I call in at this garden. Hopefully, this year will be without major flooding or early snow storm damage, both of which would close down most of the parks and natural areas. This morning, the temperature is 6C (windchill 4C), but it is supposed to soar to a balmy 17C this afternoon.
