Always enjoy the Macro Monday challenge. Seeing things up close behind the camera lens is exciting.
Sharing a photo of a Tiger Lily from my spring garden. It is almost winter here with cold temperatures. I miss the blooms. But thank goodness I have plenty of photos.

We are all different, like a sunset or a snowflake, and that is a good thing, agreed?

Yes

The flower has a special charm.
Perhaps the only thing that suits all cases is to consider it a valuable lesson.
Thank you Albert, I love this one in the garden.
it is funny that being a snowflake is considered a negative now. Each of us is unique! that is a really good thing!
As I typed snowflake I immediately thought of all the political issues going on right now negatively, and I thought, no, I am going for it. Nature is my deal, snowflakes included. 🙂
🙂 I think I am so tired of politics right now. Nature is a good line to draw!!!
I know I am done with all of it. Nature is so much more peaceful.
so am I. I went back to my regular tech posts for awhile!
Tech is always a safe subject.
Different is good , different is unique.
I agree and thank you Dawn!
Beautiful flower. Unfortunately, for the time being, we will only have to look at pictures of beautiful flowers.
Oh well, thank goodness for the pictures, right! Glad you liked it. Have a wonderful day.
Beautiful blooms. Your garden must be very colorful… So this is a tiger lily. I had heard of them before but never knew what they looked like. I am ashamed to say this especially since I translated two books from English to French: one named Tiger Lily of Bangkok and the other Tiger Lily in London… Anyway absolutely gorgeous flowers that you kept always with your photos…
Thanks, from my spring garden. I try to keep it colorful. This is it! The butterflies love it, they go all the way down as far as possible and come out covered in pollen! You can see bits of pollen if you look close. They are perennial, so they will return on their won next year.
Good to see you!
Such a beautiful photo!
Thank you so much, they are a favorite.
This is a beautiful lily. I loved it.
Thanks, from my spring garden and I miss them.
Beautiful view of lily flower,thanks for sharing.
Thanks, from my spring garden.
Great macro flower, dear Carol
Thank you Lado, appreciate you!
It is with great pleasure …. I also appreciate and respect you very much, dear Carol
That’s a beautiful name for a flower. Why is it called tiger?
Depends on who you ask perhaps. I recently read about the origin.
A Korean folk tale tells of a hermit who helped a tiger who had been shot by an arrow. The hermit removed the arrow, and the tiger swore unending friendship in return.
When the tiger died of old age, the hermit used his power to turn it into a stunning tiger lily, keeping its beauty intact in memory. Once the hermit himself finally passed away, the tiger lily began to spread in search of its friend. Some say it’s still searching to this day.
It’s a beautiful story. It appears it has different stories of its origin.
Yes I have read many versions. They are one of the biggest blooms in my garden.
I miss the flowers in my garden as well. At such a time of year, I always miss more colors as everything looks too grey. Nice photo.
Yes it is that time of year, no flowers.
This red flower is beautiful. I saw red roses in December and i was surprised, theylook nice.
Thanks, from my spring garden.
Well good morning! What a great picture, it beats the snow in the back yard. I love the picture and the quote. What shall we explore today?
Morning to you! Had to try and bring some color for everyone to enjoy. Enjoy! 🙂
Well, you did a fine job. I quite enjoyed it. It is important I find some things to enjoy today.
Thank you very much. I know there is much here to offer for us both!
