Yellow Lily © 2010 Bo Mackison
It’s a cloudy day in Wisconsin, a good day to share this bright bit of yellow – a day lily photographed at the Chicago Botanic Gardens this past weekend.
I sooooo wanted to call this photograph “Lello Lily” in honor of my youngest who pronounced the word ‘yellow’ by substituting ‘l’ for the ‘y’ — and did so long after she could easily say the word ‘yellow’ correctly. She simply loved the way it sounded. Often another family member would call something ‘lello’ also — it always brought on the giggles.
She will so love the sound of these two words combined — ‘Lello Lilly’.
About Bo Mackison
Ah my, this is gorgeous in its form and shape as well as simplicity with the Bokeh background.
Lellow Lilly and Lello Jello 🙂 I love the form you’ve captured. The moves from left to right down the flower to the stem. Very interesting.
I like Lello Lilly. You should go ahead and call it that. It is your artwork after all. 🙂
It’s very beautiful, Bo. 🙂
I like the perspective of that shot. Very nice! We have a lily like that and it had a blossom yesterday and another today . Called “Happy Returns”.
Oooooh! This is definitely in my mental favorites. I love the lines, the color, the overall feeling I get when I look at this. It’s a very sophisticated flower, I think. ….. lello. Hehehe.
