Lovely Lilies

For the past couple weeks in Iowa all varieties of lilies have been blooming -- another highlight of summer that we often overlook.  So, this post brings one of those brilliant blooms to you.  And yes, I admit that, due to their brilliant colors and enormous petals, my eyes are drawn to them and the camera soon follows.  Enjoy this beauty.
