Vibrant lilies of the Incas, with distinctive black markings. The main flower in focus is a red-pink with yellow accents near the center. The surrounding flowers are slightly out of focus..The leaves are green and provide a contrasting backdrop to the blooms. The lighting, from a window, casts shadows on the wall behind the flowers.

I don't want to flood #BlueSkyArtShow but 7-year-old asks that l post her fav photo from the day at Duder Regional Park #NZ 🇳🇿 so here it is ☺️☺️ #BlueSkyArtShow #Nature
#Peaceful #Photography
A coastal scene with a beach covered in small shells, rocks of various sizes, and the ocean extending to the horizon under a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground, there are larger, dark-colored rocks, and the beach is densely covered with tiny white shells. The water is a clear turquoise, and a large, light-brown rock partially submerged in the water is visible in the mid-ground. The background features a distant Island (Waiheke, l believe) under a blue sky with scattered white clouds.
