This was one of the first shots I took using my new Canon EOS 50D! I still have alot to learn, but I am enjoying the process.

Some research has led me to discover many interesting origins of the Easter Lily – here is one:

Roman mythology connects the lily to the queen of the gods known as Juno.

While Juno was feeding her son (Hercules), milk fell from the sky. Most of the milk stayed in the sky – creating the Milky Way- the remaining milk fell to the ground creating lilies.
