2013 Lily Series – 11

“Fascination”

The charm of desire,

The happiness of pleasure,

The enthusiasm of fascination,

The determination of passion,

The stimulation of encouragement,

All of which fashion attraction

And foster the inclination to take action.

Fascination

The poem for “Fascination” is written with words that either the color orange, or the orange lily represent.

With this post I conclude the 2013 Lily Series….but only until new blooms ensue.

I hope you have enjoyed the different perspectives of the lily presented in this series, and that you have found them inspiring.

Blessings to all.

“All our progress is an unfolding, like the vegetable bud, you have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Unfolding

2013 Lily Series – 05

“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.” – Gail Devers

Determination

Determination is just one thing that the color orange represents.

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.
