The Purple Calla

The grocery store in my neighborhood has started selling Calla Lillies in every shade but white. Mostly purples and golds, so far.
Aside from a purple silk dress I had in high school, I’ve never been a huge fan of the color. But that day in the grocery store, the dark hued plant caught my attention more so than its lemony neighbor. Now it sits in the kitchen window catching light.
A friend has been encouraging me to photograph this plant for a while. In a guest post, he raised my awareness of the Calla photographs taken by both Robert Mapplethorpe and Imogen Cunningham.
They chose white blossoms. For now, I think I will experiment with color. I’ll let you know how it goes. 😉
Wild carrots, anyone?

Queen Anne’s Lace, also known as “wild carrot,” grows widely and wildly along the Charles River. It is so abundant that I sometimes ignore the sprawling plants, pushing it aside to get a glimpse of rarer, more colorful life. But sometimes the leaves and flowers of this plant catch the light in such a way that I cannot ignore their beauty.

As my cousin stated, it’s “probably not smart to follow bees,” but what beauty she captured by doing so in her back yard. 😉
