Water lily

Lester and I went to Kew Gardens today and visited the water lily house. There were lots of beauties and I took lots of photos of them. This one was my favourite.
We got caught in a thunderstorm, complete with hailstones large enough to hurt when they landed on us, and came home just a bit soaked!

Great focusing. It looks good enlarged.

That is a wonderful colour. And we got caught in that thunderstorm down at Nymans. Lightening hit the ground just feet from us.

braving the elements for the sake of your craft! Lovely capture, such pretty colours and clarity

[Anita Hoyle]

You are such a busy person, you make me ashamed. All my pictures are within a 10 mile radius! Lovely colour and unusual to see a water lily far enough above the water to get such a profile shot

[Eleanor White]

Absolutely beautiful, and such clear focus.
