How could I go wrong? There were so many water lilies packed really close together. But wait, I couldn’t get the lovely reflections I wanted! So the following are the images I could capture. Hope you enjoy!
I love the amazing pink of these two blooms.
When the sun came out, look what flew in. These little critters didn’t want to get too close. I was photographing from a distances so focusing was a challenge. I recognize the dragonfly, but what is the yellow visitor? Do you know?

This image is clearly the result of the crowded conditions on the pond, but if I let go of my preconceived ideas, there is beauty here too. I guess Mother Nature doesn’t make mistakes after all.

Sometimes I just can’t resist playing with an image! If you don’t appreciate this one, don’t blame Mother Nature. I’ll take responsibility for it. Cheryl
