Polling comes to the copper lily

with 32 comments

On September 15th I photographed some copper lilies, Habranthus tubispathus, that recent rain had caused to spring up on an undeveloped property near the eastern end of Balcones Woods Drive. Me being me, I experimented with portraying the individual flowers in artful ways, and now you being you get the chance to say which one of the four portraits shown below you find the most appealing. I’ll announce the results in a day or two.

Of course in addition (or instead) you’re still welcome to comment about the photographs or the copper lilies themselves or about online polls or whatever other topics this post conjures up in your mind.
