A Healing
Enchantment comes my way
as I walk the garden path,
a kind of whimsy, flushed pink,
extends an invitation
to slide, to spiral, and spin
into a world of purity.
A realm as fragile as raindrops,
where one tiptoes a luscious trail,
imagination still exists,
indulgence is embraced.
It isn't hard to fantasize
while admiring Calla Lilly's grace.

How would you describe the world of your favorite flower?
This is for "Kim Klassen Cafe's - Friday Finds" Kim's website says "Where texture, type & photos unite" and boy, does it ever. I can't wait for next year when I have some time to take an on-line course again - she is organized and a wonderful teacher.
I had been bummed today as I hadn't "found that "daily" sensational photo. I walked into the house after taking the photos below and noticed the raindrops on the tip of the Calla Lily and raced back outside. I'm thrilled that I got such a great shot with my iPhone!! (my battery was dead on my Canon)

A Calla lily is interestingly beautiful. A true blue lady of the arts you rightly hurried back for that great shot! Great take Marge!

.. simply cannot get over that single drop of moisture on the tip end of the lily. Amazing. Love the poetry that accompanies your photo.
It would be fun to try a photoshoot in the rain like this but we rarely get rain here. I like the poem you shared too.
Have a good Saturday,
Karla
Karla - the sprinkler would work well turned on early morning or evening... just a thought.
I followed you here :-)
Such a pretty image. Your phone camera is amazing to produce such clarity.
Is there a letter -u- in Kim's name?
Aprille. No u!! So sorry.

so lovely Margaret.... I carried calla lilies and roses at my wedding! Thank you for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)
The photos are truly beautiful. I like that you titled this healing.
Beautiful. The world of the calla provides a nice reprieve from the regular day to day monotony. Sometimes all it takes is a change of perspective.
Who needs a camera when you've got an iPhone! WOW.
I like the line:/a kind of whimsy, flushed pink/
very nice image.
Thank you, everyone. I have to admit, one I took the top photo, I knew I HAD to write a poem about the Callalily.
