Brightest Star

Brightest Orange Lily © 2010 Bo Mackison

These red orange lilies were almost glowing in the flower bed, they were so brightly colored. I love how the flower petals are actually black near the spidery leg appendages in the center. Another photo from Olbrich Botanical Gardens, my favorite place to visit in spring and summer in all of Madison.

I love how this flower looks like a very bright star. And I want to congratulate one of the brightest “stars” in my life on an important day in her life.

Congratulations to my younger daughter on her graduation from the University of Wisconsin as she receives her Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. (Now I know who to call the next time my website disappears!)

I'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you. Please subscribe to receive my five part mini email course The Gifts of the Desert. It's my gift to you.
