Lilies & Finches

Yesterday while I was hurrying around trying to get caught up on work, I walked into the dining room where Geri had put some fresh cut lilies of the valley in the vase that we used as a cake topper at our wedding reception. When I noticed how beautiful they looked in the morning light, I grabbed my camera and climbed up on a chair to capture the image from a high angle which made the shadows even more dramatic.
Then late this afternoon I noticed a flurry of action on the branches of our redbud tree outside the front window, where a bunch of house finches were flying around. There's a nest in the wreath on the front porch with two babies in it. I made this memorable picture with a long telephoto lens through the window.
Cheers, Kent
