110/365 Lily season

Nearly all of our lilies are in bloom right now and they're beautiful! I'm amazed at how many different varieties there are. Just at home, we have orange, big yellow, small yellow, red (like this one), and magenta.

It's one flower I don't enjoy bringing in the house, though, because their smell is rather strong and I don't find it pleasant. I think the stargazer lilies are the worst, which is unfortunate since they're very striking, and I often see them in bouquets.

I sure like photographing them, though!

Camera: Canon 40D 1/125s, f/5.6 at ISO 200 under overcast skies at about 7:00 p.m.
