Dark Lily, by Tisha Clinkenbeard

Lilies bloom each spring in our yard in various colors. Each has a vibrant, bright center and very colorful leaves. I always love the pollen – or pixy dust, as I call it – on each of them. This particular lily had very dark leaves and a brilliant yellow center.

Tisha Clinkenbeard works have been in exhibits at The Fine Arts Center of Hot Springs, Black Box Gallery in Portland, and in several fine art shows in Texas. She believes photography captured her years ago before we had the digital wonders for cameras. Her life offers many opportunities to capture the things that she sees as she wanders this earth. Her goal is to share what she finds Round & About – which was the inspiration for her photo blog: foundroundandabout.com. Two of Tisha’s photos have been appeared in the Birds & Blooms monthly online newsletter – April and December of 2011.
