Shot of the Day – 13 – White Water Lily
White Water Lily, Minnesota (20 August 2005)
The American white water lily, Nymphaea odorata, is a floating, freshwater plant that is common in this country. We see it in lakes, ponds, marshes, botanical gardens…anywhere the water is calm and shallow enough for the stalks to reach the surface where the working parts of the plant can perform.
While the plant is common, one seldom sees a patch this perfect. The flower is new and unblemished, surrounded by fresh, unbroken lily pads. I see a cool and calm scene of nature’s beauty…when I don’t imagine green Pac Men roaming in every direction.

I like the short and sweet posts. Two very cool shots.
I join my voice to your rant about Houston. History indeed repeats itself, yet seems many are deaf, dumb, and blind.
