The blue ones have always been my favorites...and even with the strong wind at Zilker Botanical here in Austin on the day I discovered them, they were just too pretty to pass up for a capture or two.

Gorgeous, Val. We rarely get any feeling of water movement in water lily shots, but in this case, the reflection makes the illusion. I really like it! #9636426
