For some reason the lily makes me want to cook an omlette, perhaps with mushrooms and lime.

I love the last shot of the tree with the bifurcated trunk.

J9 said...

Iasa - Oh, an omlette sounds yummy!

Like that last shot a lot. Your lemon/lime is also very good with the moisture on it. Great job.
