The Calla Lilies Are in Bloom...

I think everyone who knows me or reads this blog would agree -- I tend to start getting a mite cranky in February.

I miss spring.

And when I see flowers on sale at the supermarket, I just can't resist. Besides, I have this thing about photographing flowers.

I waste way too much time doing it. :)

I'm really more of a country or cottage garden sort of girl, but I picked up these calla lilies because I thought they might make for some interesting photographs. And so I took advantage of the little bit of sunshine yesterday to shoot some calla lily portraits. :)

Am I the only one, or do calla lilies automatically remind you of Katharine Hepburn's famous lines in Stage Door? I used to love quoting those lines in my best Larchmont Lockjaw accent when I was a kid.

I was such a dork.

My mother actually met Katharine Hepburn once, when she was staying as a guest at the home where my mother worked as a maid. My mother said she was very elegant and gracious.

Rather like my calla lilies. :)
