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.

ReplyDeleteTo be part of the nature, don't know I would prefer to be a fish or a flower?
ReplyDeleteIcy, 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.

ReplyDeleteI love water lilies too, Icy. That is a great shot that you captured with the fish. Very well timed.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI too love waterlilies - seems there's always several frogs amongst them too. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty. Great shots Icy, I love how you captured a fish in the last one.
