Shadow Shots: Elegant


Peace lilies are such common, simple houseplants. Mostly boring leaves with an occasional, unassuming inflorescence, they're easy to ignore. 

But look at the way the light hit these, turning them all shadowy and dramatic. Kinda surprising, isn't it.

The curves and pockets are often ignored by many - that is, those who pay no mind to shadows...the bends and folds of the lily add such depth and character to an already beautiful flowering plant. The artistry is all over the flora - and wonderfully captured too!
