Embellishment

I've been trying to get a reasonable shot of this gorgeous lily, but it is so over the top that the images haven't worked for me. I think the grasshopper makes a good addition though. If he's half as drunk as I get on the knock-out fragrance of this flower, then he will have a fine night.

We are beginning to smell the smoke from the fire south of Carmel, and the evening sky here is thick and yellow. There are air quality alerts throughout the Bay area.
