Great color in that flower! It is so delicate compared to the leaves that help sustain it.

thank you sarah they had all colors of water lilies but purple is one of my favorite colors. #8765431

I keep being drawn to the contrast of the softness of the flower against the heavy leaf. I saw my first water lillies yesterday, and from a boat would not be able to capture anything so serene and colorful. Really nice image. #8767095

Rita
I love the purple colour set against the lilly pads. Our water lillies are almost always white making them difficult to photograph
