Spent from 7:00am until 10:00am this morning at the Chicago Botanic Garden and got over 100 shots. Don't like the heat or light much after that point. This shot is from this morning shortly after 7:00am. You can tell from the sunlight at that early hour it's going to be a hot one here today.

Beautiful shot Kathy - Love the pink color of the waterlily - the overall composition - the leaves - the morning sunlight - it was well worth the early trip to the gardens - an Excellent Capture!!!!!!

Very beautiful shot with nice lighting and colours Kathy. Well composed and sharp image. I too prefer late evening for most shots.

The lilies and the pads look fantastic on the black background. Fantastic shot, Kathy.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
