Thank you so much, Bill, Tammy, Michelle and Eivor! This is another one of those I wasn't sure about--if it looked good or just weird. lol These are growing in my garden and they were perfectly formed, so I took a lot of photos of them. #6094183

Thanks for the terrific comments, Jessica, Tonya, Elizabeth, Susan, Joerg, Marilyn and Kitty!

For those of you who are into gardening, this variety of daylily is either "Daring Deception" or "Daring Dilemma" (or maybe a cross of the two). I found an amazing website with 600+ photos of daylily varieties: www.ofts.com. The daylily may just be my new favorite flower! :) #6094810

Thank you so much, Joannie and Stephanie--I really appreciate your great comments.

This wasn't that hard, just a lot of playing around with layers until I liked the result. What I think is really hard are the "painted" images that people do in Photoshop, Corel, Painter, etc. I couldn't begin to do those! #6136852
