Wow what a fabulous lily and photograph. Look at the size of those leaves, you could have a picnic on one.

gorgeous water lily... wow!!! wishing you a very happy New Year!
It's exquisite and I have always been fascinated by those large lily pads. Happy New Year Valerie :)
The first picture is so beautifully composed ! The color are very delicate too... That is an amazing shot, Valérie, well done.
Delightful!
Happy New Year!
how heavy would the lily pads hold?
Total loveliness...
Dear all - many thanks for your kind comments on the Amazon Lily. Ann: the pads can grow to 8 feet across and can hold the weight of an average adult. The flowers measure 12 inches across and the plant stems have been known to be as long as 20 feet when in rising flood waters.
Happy New Year, Valerie!
That's a beautiful lily. Thanks for visiting my blog and you're correct that the last shot was a cardinal (male).
Wow, these are both so beautiful. Th joy of a zoom lens. Your first is just stunning, at first I thought the reflection may have been photoshopped, but then I saw the ripples and lily pad - gorgeous.
