Got a request to make ...

The pale yellow lily with dark centre came out yesterday. Since Bryan was here we both took a picture of the flower's bloom. Now you get to pick which of the two, mine or Bryan's you like the best. Not saying if the first of two view is mine or Bryan's ...

Here's the first:

That's so cool that your house number is 17! I like that number too, since that was the age when I was a junior in high school, and I condsidered that my favorite grade!!

Both of the dark-centered lily pictures are pretty, but I like the "pose" in the SECOND picture better. (I hope that's Roland's)  ;D

I like Photo #2.  I like the slight angle of the lily (where you can see the curve of the bottom petals).
