So cheerful an image with this sunlit lilly, I would get up (with a smile) just for this.
Such a nice view to begin my day.

@Barbara: I have a collage of this year's lily shots on my desktop at the church ... it's a cheerful image to begin my days there, and a sweet memorial for David, for whom they were purchased.
PS: We're going on a Sunline Cruise tonight!

WOW.You have lilies on the porch! If i see lilies like these here,it is at the florist:) And i love the scent too!:)

@tyan: Ha, ha ... they were sitting outside on the screen-in porch after we brought them home from church on Easter Sunday. Now the flowers are gone and we'll plant them in the yard, hoping that next year they'll burst forth with new growth. In our drought conditions, I'm not sure if they will survive. ... I too, love their scent, but find many do not, or have allergic reactions to it.

haha about the stroller,you are right,the cheapest stuff are from China,what i meant was,the Maclaren stroller made-in-US was considered branded here,but we couldnt find any other brands that produced twin strollers.It was still steep for us,$400 plus,but it was the cheapest we could find:)

@tyan: I see what you meant ... but your $400 coverts to $279 US, and that's still STEEP.

Lovely indeed! I had one with the same title last year, also from my front porch, but not the same flowers! ;-)

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: This is funny ... I found yours of 24 April before i saw your 15 May, both with the same title. :D
I'm sure I've used the title more than once also ... it's so fitting!
Thank you for your comment, Wolfgang.

So pretty. We planted a couple of these from Easter '08 and they came up and were getting ready to bloom. But then our lawn service came with the weed-eater and hacked the bigger one to pieces. I can't prove it, but I don't think it could have been accidental since it was inside the clear boundary of a garden bed. Careless, maybe. Or passive aggressive? Who knows. But at least the other one is still getting ready to bloom.

@Viewfinder: Ohhhhhhhh, Glenn ... how awful ... not fair! Who knows what 'lurks' in the mind behind the weed-eater! :(
I hope your other plant flourishes and produces beautiful blooms for you to photograph!
Chris from South Jersey, United States
wow Judy - that light is magical. A wonderful shot, I really like the focus on this one and the white color really pops.....

@Chris: Thank you, Chris ... Easter lilies will forever remind us now of David, as he died the night before our early Easter of '08. Thankfully, we're able to look at their beauty and smile with our memories of David.
Susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
Judy, this is just a beautiful shot.....the composition and focus point make this a real work of art!!

Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
What a nice way to start the day, enjoying great lighting on a beautiful flower! So pretty!

@Bookfool: You'll appreciate that these lilies were used for Easter Sunday at church, and then we brought the plants we'd purchased in David's and our parents' memory, home. Seeing their sunny, smiling faces was a blessing each morning as long as they lasted. Now they're going into the ground.
@observing: Thank you very much, Mike.

@Japanalia: Thank you, Gabriela ... they were in David's memory, so your lovely words are beautiful to my 'ears'.
