Last (and only) one standing

The lilies and daylilies on Capitol Hill were finished more than a month ago, but I found this one lily at the Franciscan Monastery in Northeast DC. I bet it’s one of the last ones in the city.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

Lovely floral nice sharp image with the 300 flattering bokeh. We are getting close to a change in weather pattern and the plants sense somehow sense that. Vote

Nice shot. Lucky there are no deer there. Ours get 'mowed to 1" by those devils.
