Her Majesty

“There is a certain majesty in simplicity which is far above all the quaintness of wit.” – Alexander Pope

Joyful Majesty

Joyful Majesty In Black and White

Joyful = the color yellow

Majesty = a meaning of the Lily in the Victorian Language of Flowers

I had to post both images because…

I loved the cheerfulness of the yellow and the feeling of joy it brought me, especially in the warm glow of the sun.  The black and white, however, moved me as well and I loved the contrast.

2013 Lily Series – 04

Love stories are journeys.

All have a beginning, all have a middle, and unfortunately, some have an end.

But, as long as there is love, there is hope.

As long as there is hope, there is a journey of love.

This my friend, is the majesty of it all.

Happy Valentine’s Day!  May your day and years be filled with love and hope.  May your life be a journey of love.

2013 Lily Series – 01

Tonight begins a journey with the Lily.  Historically, the Lily has represented majesty.  In some parts of history it can be found that Lilies of various colors represent something other than, or in addition to, majesty.  For example, the white Lily, as I posted last week, represents purity and virtue.  Throughout the 2013 Lily series you will see Lilies of varying color as well as black and white images of Lilies.  The Lily itself is a magnificent flower.  It can be a challenge to photograph, but if you have wonderful natural light, those challenges seem to fade to artistic creation.  I hope you enjoy the series and look forward to your comments and feedback.
