Scenic Sunday--Water Lilies

I always have a fascination with water lily flowers. For one thing, they grow in the water, and sometimes that means I can't get close to them. For another thing, water lilies are just beautiful.

I was lucky even to see these flowers below last summer, at Belle Isle fish pond. I haven't seen water lilies anywhere else yet.


Oh, I wanted to zoom all the way in to take a closer picture of these gorgeous pink water lilies, but they were way out in the middle of the pond.


This was a yellow water lily but the sun was so bright it washed the color out. To make up for the lost of color, I was able to capture the fish swam by it.

  3. Icy, I love water lilies too. They would be hard to get a close up of if they were a ways out, wouldn't they, but yours are just stunning.

  13. I think the thing I too like about water lilies and lily pads are that they grow in the water. I like seeing them whenever I can, which isn't very often.
