365 days of pictures day 68 surprise lily

God always has a way to bless me in every single way.  I was wondering what I was going to do my picture today about, when down at my parents this beautiful surprise lily (naked lady is another name).

So this became my subject for today, little did I know that once I looked at the pic there were ants all over it. (I can't seem to take flower pics without getting some sort of critter in it.

these flowers I took a pic of them in 05 and entered into the state fair, I won 3rd over all place...I was so in awe.  I have a pretty blue ribbon and a $10 check ( I never cashed it)  stuck in the box with the picture.

I love taking nature pics.
