My life long water lily gardens closed a few years ago. Don't know why.
Here are some from the past...acres and acres of water lilies, lotus, Giant Lotus and all things "water bound".

Snakes have always been my nemesis John. Especially in SE Asia......
They scared me to death on more than 1 occasion.
Now I have learned to adapt to them.....Took 79 years but heh..I'm olde!

I will post some examples of the different ponds that "house" individual species of water lilies, lotus's and Giant Lotus's...
The grounds are loaded with flowers, creatures, water lilies, and even a parrot!
Thanks!

YES! Exactly what I saw when I photographed it Karl!
It was a very bright day and the sun made everything "sparkle"!
Thanks!

The last one is a stunner!
You were a little unlucky with the lighting on the first and third. In the Images menu in Photoshop, there is and adjustment for highlights and shadows.

Thanks Harold for the pointer.
I do edit with those sliders in ACR/Ps...The day was very bright and I wanted to "catch" some of the harshness to accent the delicacy of the lily.
Feel free to adjust to your taste so that I can see and maybe learn!
Thanks!
