I was delighted to find Water Lilies in bloom last week at a roadside pond.
Most of the flowers were clustered around the edges but a narrow strip of lily pads and one lone Lily have reached out into the middle of the pond.

This’d be a beautiful panorama image to have on the wall. It’s stunning Ellen!
Thank you, Liz, so glad that you liked it.
I applaud your eternal good nature… calling that dirt a ‘road’, and the mucky swamp/marsh a pond. 🙏🙏🙏. Then finding a great shot in the midst of all that.
😊A road by any other name 😁
Beautiful Ellen – and I think quite rare in our world, no? I wonder if someone planted them or they just grew unassisted.
Thanks, Tina! I think some are native here, but also think I’ve read that there are some invasive ones. This was on the main entrance road into Donnelley WMA, the pond after the kiosk. The pond is man-made so who knows what else man might have done!
I’m watching for news for details on your local tragedy with the alligator and wondering how much of man’s influence caused that.
Not sure how much they will publish Ellen but it was definitely a case of a foolish human taking a ridiculous risk. A horrible result from
A very bad choice
I had an idea that human behavior was at the root of that; seems having the details out in the open would be educational. Thanks for sharing.
I agree but doubt it will happen. Bad publicity I’m guessing.
