Water Lilly at Gwyn's Farm - It is nice magnified.

This is my last week of my 365 project. I have enjoyed it and feel good about staying the course. We all know it can be a challenge to take photos every day, edit them, return everyones nice comments, and stay inspired. We should all be proud of ourselves becuase this is a big accomplishment.

One of my regrets is that there are several other ongoing projects I cannot finish during this week. I would have enjoyed sharing the results. One of those is my book for Gwyn. I have mentioned this project a few times and posted some of the photos. I went to the farm this morning and took many nice photos. Her dad was home and I was able to take the interior of his lovely home. When this property is sold I hope the photo book I am creating will give her many warm memories of her parents beautiful home.

After I finished the house I braved the sweltering heat and took a few outdoor shots. I noticed lilly pads in one of the ponds and slogged through the weeds to reach the bank. I was rewarded with this pretty lilly. I want to dedicate this shot to my friend Gwyn, John Patrick, a former 365'r who took gorgeos lillies , and all of you who take beautiful flower photos every day.

very nicely presented, a pretty and tranquil scene

The purity and white of the lilly against the green lilly pads, as well as the light on the white petals, creates a beautiful scene - way to go!

[Henriette Sparkes]

That's magnificent Wendy!

[Brian Buccigrossi]

Wonderful find :)

[Juliette Packham]

great shot Wendy - can't believe you are going to be finished this week - :o(
love the dappled light in this shot - magnificant!

[Isaac Westwood]

Very nice dappled reflection on the underside of that leaf! Lovely shot :)

[Semoor]

I love the whitness of the flower. Congrats for making it to the end and for sharing your photos and comments with us.

[Kerri]

Beautiful! Great reflection

This is a beautiful shot, especially magnified. Nice job!! :)

[Robin]

Superb shot, Wendy. And, yes, even better magnified. Amazing to think you're nearly at an end with your Project. Will you keep going?

[Linda Paul]

This is a lovely shot and I do remember the Gwyn project you'd talked of. Such a wonderfully, thoughtful gift to their family. It will be hard to walk away from the property, but at least they'll have your gorgeous images to ease the pain.


So....does this mean no more WAC photos? Waaaahhhhh....Stay with us...even if just sporadically as Robin and I do. I can't think of 365 w/o you.

Lovely dappled light! Hope you'll continue - the second year is so much more relaxing. I promise!

[Mike Fitzgerald]

Wonderful composition. Nicely done.

[Cat Whiskers - Nan]

This is gorgeous and the lighting on the lilly is very nice!

[Cindy List]

So beautiful!

[Robin]

Wendy, I don't post as often as I used to so may miss your final shot. Just want to say that it has been an absolute pleasure viewing and commenting on your beautiful photos. They are some of those I've always most looked forward to and have been inspired by and it's such a delight to have watched your progression over the past year. Good luck with everything in your life after 365.

[Angie]

love this

[Amy Spada]

Beautiful and strong water lilly... You have done a great job on the hard-to-expose white.

[Margaret Tryon]

Gorgeous Wendy. This is such a thoughtful gift for your friend.

[Roe Jan]

Beautiful shot! I have no doubt Gwyn will treasure the gift you are making. Both that project and your 365 project are a wonderful inspiration.

[Denise]

A lovely scene - so pretty.

[Pam Hawkes]

Wonderful capture. Thanks for the great photos you have contributed to this project. You will continue to bless others with your gift.

[Amy Spada]

Thanks for your kind words, Wendy. I have enjoyed following you on 365 and it will be strange not to see your fine work anymore or receive your support. I figure you will be finishing on 3 August? You will be sorely missed but you're right to put your attention towards your new projects now. If you find time in the future you can always start a new year! :-) All the very best to you in the future! And if you are ever in northern Italy get in touch...

[Yoella Offir]

Very beautiful and a great gift to your friend.
You are a week ahead of me than. Are you going to continue?

[Kass]

I was taking lily pad photos this weekend too! Gorgeous shot and I'm sure the book will be amazing. I'm going to miss your project. I don't comment much since I can't find the time but I usually check the photos each day. As Amy said above, wish you well with your other projects. :)
