The Callas are blooming.

It's that time of year--the calla lilies are in bloom. Calla lilies, like many flowers, have a short life after they are picked. I have to pick them on the day that I will photograph them. I also need to have all the accompanying "stuff" ready: vases, greenery, supporting flowers, etc. This time I went out and purchased a dozen roses to place in the vase with them. The resulting photographs were quite stunning and I can't wait to get started on the paintings!
