My aunt is visiting from country NSW so we ventured to Silvan today for the Tulip Festival at the Tesselaar Tulip Farm.

What a beautiful display of flowers!

One more colour image of the calla lily Tim found in a laneway last week. I could take endless photos of these flowers – I love their delicacy and seeming-simplicity, yet there’s a robustness and complexity to them too.

What do you think? Are you as captivated by these flowers as I am?

As I mentioned yesterday, I had in mind a particular shot I wanted of a calla lily.

This wasn’t it, but I’m drawn to the backs of flowers as much as to the fronts, particularly when they’re this beautiful.

Again, thanks to Tim for the light.

I’d been looking for calla lilies for a few days when Tim spotted some in a laneway on his way to the station.

I had in mind a black and white shot, reminiscent of the beautifully classical work of Robert Mapplethorpe (a very ambitious aim) but when it came time to process the images I found many of the colour ones just as appealing. I’ll get to some of the black and white ones in coming days, but for now, here’s one in colour.

The lines of these flowers are delicate and beautiful, and there’s a sense of movement captured within the image that I particularly like.

Thanks to Tim for lighting this so beautifully.
