Canna Lilies Reflected Long Sleeve T-Shirt

The orange red canna lilies and their emerald green foliage take on something of a fantastical quality here, where they're viewed only as reflections in the water of a pond. The water moves just enough to give a sense of impermanence and fluidity to the otherwise sturdy plants, and the deep blue reflection of the sky makes a lovely background for all.

The genus Canna includes ten species of flowering perennial plants, all of which have showy blooms and foliage with a tropical feel. Interesting fact: In China and Vietnam, the starch from this plant is used in the making of cellophane noodles.

Although much of my career had been in editing and writing, I have been delighted for some time to concentrate on both photography and artistic creations based on photography. Through this medium I thoroughly enjoy the world, from city to suburb to country, from my roots in the US Midwest to fascinating Florida, to Ohio, where I now live. My artistic interests are eclectic. Much engages me. I hope my art will please and engage you as well.
