THE SHUTTERBUG BLOG exists to showcase the copyrighted photography of Sam Haddock, Jr... view New England through the lens of "The Shutterbug on Knights Pond." Drop by often, as Sam continues to capture the essence of Maine and her environs.

And I surely hope, along with other fans of Sam's photography, that we'll be viewing gardens, nature and the East Coast through Shutterbug's lens for many seasons to come! From nostalgic to timely, and noteworthy to humorous, Sam's accompanying commentary brings these wonderful photographs to life.

So, join me in wishing "Shutterbug" health and happiness in 2010! Meanwhile, enjoy our periodical posts...

A Divinely Refined Lily


© S.W. Haddock, Jr. 2007

A divinely refined lily caught my eye, today
Architecturally perfect, in every way

It claimed my attention with sweet perfume
Then lured me in with its lavish bloom

Like strawberry ice cream on a graceful stalk
Arching, seductively, across the walk

Its brown velvet stamens call to the bee
It stands in a vase, at afternoon tea

A divinely refined lily caught my eye, today

Another absolutely perfect photo. I love the simplicity. I liked my photo of Stargazer until I saw yours LOL.

On behalf of Sam Haddock, aka 'Shutterbug', thanks for the comment. It's easy to find the poetry in such artistic photos. From what I've seen of your photos, you should be proud of all your photographic efforts.
