Don - Slackwater (
My friend, David, invited me to visit his backyard to take some pictures of his Lily Pads. This was the best one blooming that day. While there I got to see Daisy his find dog do her snorkeling act in another small pond. I must get a video of that event some day! NOTE: For those interested in the strange building in yesterday's post, an email explaining its purpose has been added there under Luke's comment.
I love the small shadows on the pedals.

Perfect composition to this photo, so serene, as if on green ice.

OH, Don. SO lovely. The colors are amazing - and the detail too. Love the reflection - and the lily leaf.

Utterly lovely Don! Your friend's gotta be blessed to have this in his backyard! A beautiful shot:)

This captures so well the kinda explosive power in these flowers - such a contrast with, say, the frailty of a poppy !

These flowers are impeccable for a short time...

Such a beautiful bloom! By snorkling act, do you mean his dog removed all sticks, etc from the pond? We had a dachshund that would stick almost her entire head under water to remove sticks, etc.

@Rose: Daisy dips her nose under the water in playful splashes.
I have some special feeling for water lilies :) Gorgeous :)

A vibrant punch of color in the flower, but a serene composition.
