October Surprise... lilly.


I love October.

Cooler mornings, pleasant afternoons.
And, surprise lilies.

According to wikipedia: Lycoris is of flowering plants in the family Amaryllidaceae and are bulb-producing perennial plants. Native to eastern and southern Asia, they were imported into North Carolina and now grow wild in North America. In English they are also called hurricane lilies or cluster amaryllis.

I used one of Kimi Klassen's textures to really make my lilly pop. and lots and lots of layers in photoshop.

Because some folks are purists... here is the original image straight out of the camera. Not so stellar since the wind was fierce- but the lilly was vibrant.

And a few of my favorites from the weekend.
