My Mom has a large patch of lily of the valley
all along the east side of the driveway.
I spent some time every day taking photos
and simply breathing the fragrance.
I tried lying on the driveway,
photographing up into the bells.
Capturing the blossoms with the sun fading in
the west brought new colours into them.
I am linking this with NF Blo-Ma today.
Beautiful photos of a beautiful plant :-))
