Doppleganger Lily

In playing with lighting for this photo I was entertained by the shadowy version that resulted at one point. It reminded me of a doppleganger. Lily on the left panel is the dark and brooding evil one that lurks in the shadows of alleyways. Lily on the right is the personable counterpart who's valedictorian of the class and a ham for attention.

Girls, Beer, Prizes

How anybody learns english properly is an amazing feat to me. Just look at this sign. Each time I read it I interpreted it differently. Is it:

"Bud Light Lime. Sampling Girls & Prizes!" meaning girls will circulate with samples of Bud Light Lime and you can win prizes.

OR

"Bud Light Lime. Sampling girls & Prizes!" meaning you can have some Bud Light Lime and sample different girls but I'm not sure what exactly the prizes would be for in this case.

OR

"Bud Light Lime Girls. Sampling & Prizes!" because someone had run out of room when they started writing the sign and didn't end up spacing the lines properly.

I can find out Sept 5 apparently.

Mum’s the Word

It was back into the macro studio with some fresh cut flower stems. A spider mum this time, also known as a football mum. There's a fly in the apartment, and these flowers are known for their ability to produce a natural insecticide, so we'll see just how long this fly ends up flying around in here.
