Beauty along the roadside


I shall never tire of the delights I find along my country roads. I am (surprised) and fortunate that I haven't veered off into the ditch while scanning for new and exciting finds! Just yesterday as I was cruising down the highway at 100 km/hr I spied a wild Tiger Lily!! Now, how many people do that? Unfortunately, I couldn't stop - there was nowhere to pull over. When I saw some red paint brushes that I wanted to photograph, luckily there was a side road and I was able to turn off the highway. Guess what I saw? a wild Tiger Lily hiding demurely in the grass! Serendipity! Isn't she beautiful?
