Book with Lily

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, Pennsylvania, United States) on 2 March 2009 in Miscellaneous.

This is the third of the photo challenges my photo-buddy Mary Brooks-Brown and I set for ourselves. The topic is "Books." Of course, I had to do something with flowers. The lilies came from flowers my husband got as a welcome home gift.

Our prior challenges were:
Mug,
Crayons, and Heart.

Anita, this is a beautiful image all the way around. I have just two small nits or really one nit in two places. The very top petal of lily just blends into the white background on my monitor. The edge is lost. Same goes for left page at top (on left side of the image). Just two tiny nits. But a wonderful image.
