water lilies

It's always a moment of happiness for me when I find the chance for a puddle shot - in this case a lily-pond shot.
I met my friend, Elaine, at a local National Trust property. We had coffee (no cake, surprisingly!) and a stroll around and then a bit of lunch. Lots of photographic possibilities and this is one of my personal favourites from the visit. When I loaded it up to the computer, I found a hazy dragon fly in the shot.
Super shot great pov --A fav--Love it Hazel

Beryl thanks, especially for the fav. You saw me sitting in the lavender fields, well I was practically lying down to get this shot AND there were people sitting on a seat overlooking the pond, no doubt wondering what this mad woman was doing. The camera didn't get dropped in and so lives for another day!

n.b I see the date on my camera has fast forwarded 5 days! This was definitely taken today - 17th - I'm sometimes careless with time and hardly ever wear a watch - but not usually dates! (Not that any of this really matters anyway!!!)

Thank you - and I noticed the diamonds in it when I loaded it up, an additional surprise after the dragonfly.

Thank you! I have it as my desktop right now and am trying to find a place on a wall where I can put a print of it!

FAV for me too! I'm so impressed that you got down on the ground for the shot, but then I realize I took my "simple gifts" photo for the 17th almost lying on the floor. (I didn't like the background on the counter, so I put everything on the floor. Doesn't 365 keep us flexible?!)

I see the little fellow...flying by over the pond. This is such a nice vantage point...I feel I am eyeballs deep in that pond!
