Flower For Mom

I think we may have to start a petition to have Mother's Day moved a little later in the year.  Another long winter has resulted in zero new flowers growing in the yard.  Except for those pesky yellow Dandelions.  My Lovely Assistant has already gotten a giant bouquet of those from the Heir Apparent and Crown Prince.  Luckily, I have a nice collection of Day Lilies floating around in the archives for just such an occasion.  My Mom gifted these roots from her own personal garden when we moved in to the Head Office, so I always call this batch Mom's Flowers.  They are always fun to photograph as I love all of the shapes and colours.  This one was photographed at f/6.3, 1/400sec, ISO 100 at 70mm with a bright sun bearing down on them.  Can't wait to see the new batch of Mom's flowers when they grow later this year.  Happy Mother's Day to all of the mother's out there, and of course, to my Mom has well.
