Love your perspective on this Mimi. It's like they can't wait to pop out and bloom. A beautiful addition to my personal flower collection, thanks!

Gorgeous, Mimi - beautiful flowers and great reflections. The ripple at the top adds a bit of personality to it. Very nice -

The lighting is wonderful, of course. I like the concentric rings in the water where it was disturbed. And the colors are great too.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Just lovely. The greenery reflected in the water is like a lacework pattern and the flowers themselves are incredibly clear.

Hi Mimi....

WOW, my friend....is all I can say...This photo is positively beautiful....simplicity was mentioned above....and I believe that true beauty, in all things is simple....'simplicity is beauty'....to my way of thinking... and.....I fully agree with Joseph wholeheartedly....;o)

Then of course you add the fact that these gorgeous little flowers are pink....for obvious reasons...I love them.....teasing....!! You know Mimi, so very often these lilly pads are eaten by these little buggy wuggies, and of course these are not...making them so absolutely enchanting.....dreamy...and just plain....'simply' beautiful'!! ;o) This photo again has Mimi's special touch....none other quite like it...;o))

I am personally inviting this sweet little number into my 'house of favorites', and into the best room in the house....where my friend's photo will be properly honored....;o)

Water lily's are a favorite of mine you have done a wonderful job shooting these. I love your introduction to Caedes it's so true It's like a second love. Your gallery says alot about you. Every picture tells a story don't it.
