There is such a variety of beautiful colours (International Spelling) and a wide ranging choice of lily; usually with a wonderful scent. These are but four: Star Gazer, Journey's End, Golden Splendor (U.S. Spelling) and Blood Lily.

Results of a Google Search, for additional information (and, click on direct hyperlinks):
With more modern cameras and computers, since 2013, I now do most all of my photographic and videographic work in Hi-Definition HD – 1080p (pixels). Many of my followers, however, do not have a Hi Speed Internet connections and the images may be pixilated – see also Wikipedia example. Or, rasterised (blurry). There are a few ways of overcoming the problem:
  1. Once the video slideshow is started, at the bottom right of any YouTube video click on the gear icon and change the quality of the image from HD 1080p (pixels), down to, say 144p, then try increasing it slowly.
  • Both the governments of Alberta and British Columbia have made commitments to place Hi Speed Internet through-out their respective provinces; as is the case in most other North American jurisdictions.
You may notice that some of my photographic studies and slideshows are quite dim. I prefer taking photographs at dawn, dusk or at night without artificial light; or when it is wet. Hopefully, you will also see something that you have never seen before.

This is the 6th in a series of my photographic slideshows for 2015 taken in and around Lynn Valley, Lower Lynn and North and West Vancouver, on Vancouver, Canada's North Shore:

  • Inspired by Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram's “The Truth about Eating FullyRaw” video (16:02 minutes) ... [https://youtu.be/pSk4S1Nd__A] ... FullyRaw is the creation of Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram, a pioneer in the local, organic food co-operative movement.

  • A predecessor program by the YMCA program to “GOAL Trial Promotional Video (2:40 minutes) Group-based Physical Activity for Older Adults Trial (GOAL) ... The YMCA of Greater Vancouver, in partnership with the UBC School of Kinesiology and the Canadian Institute of Health Research, is conducting a study on older adult adherence to exercise. ... Regular physical activity is associated with a diverse range of positive physical and mental health outcomes, with the effects being particularly pronounced among older adults over the age of 65. Despite these health benefits, involvement in physical activity has been found to decline over the course of adulthood. ... With estimates suggesting that approximately 50 percent of older adults drop out or abandon physical activity programs within six months of enrolment, there is a tremendous need for sustainable interventions to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In particular, people are more likely to keep their involvement in physical activity programs if they are provided with the opportunity to exercise with others in social or group-based settings as opposed to undertaking physical activity on their own. Who can participate? Men and women over the age of 65.” About the YMCA of Greater Vancouver - The YMCA is a powerful association of men, women and children of all ages and abilities joined together by a shared commitment: to strengthen community. We accomplish this goal by helping vulnerable children and families, promoting healthy living and reducing isolation. In 2014 alone, the YMCA helped more than 115,000 children, youth, adults, families and seniors become stronger through life-enhancing programs and services.
