Cannas, Cannas, and more Cannas (Edited to Callas, Callas, and more Callas)

(Edit:  I thought I had differentiated between calla lilies and canna lilies, but I hadn't!  A kind visitor to my blog pointed it out.)
I was surprised to receive not one, but two, vases of flowers from our oldest son and his girlfriend---my two favorite Brooklynites.  These were Mother's Day gifts, but the first one wasn't what he had ordered, so FTD shipped again, this time calla lilies.  I spent an hour on the back porch  with the following results.  All were edited in LightRoom but the one with a Kim Klassen texture.

 

Still Life for a Still Life

The beautiful snow has turned to slush; today, the day started with snow, turned to rain, then to icy rain.  It's NOT a day to be outside, and I haven't found a good subject to photograph for a whole weekend.  This past week, however, I spent some time with "petals and props."  I have been learning very basic Lightroom...I just want to learn enough to be able to use presets and do some creative edits, but I still want to rely on PS Elements.  My photography has to be relatively simple for me; I'm doing this for enjoyment, after all.
