Stargazer

Summer days. Blue skies. The smell of fresh-mown grass. The buzz of hummingbirds zipping through the yard, like tiny rocketeers. And in the front flower bed, the last pink stargazer lily begins to open its heart to the sun.

A tune: Bad Company, with Shooting Star (live at Wembley).


P.S. When I post a photo of lilies, I always include this warning. Lilies are deadly to cats - all parts of the lily, even the stems and the pollen powder that falls from the center. So please do not bring lilies indoors if you have cats in the house!

P.P.S. For the lovers of lilies: more lilies here.
