Picking water lilies..

Here is a shot from my files from a few years back .. After putting up my shot the other day of the waterlilies I had bought alot were surprised that you could buy picked flowers .. Well perhaps this shot shows as the why it doesn't happen very often ..We got a 'special' pass to go to the Water Garden early morning.. This girl had long wadders on but I am sure she would of still got wet but she did look like she enjoyed her job ... may not have be so much fun on a cooler morning ..

A fabulous shot Julia, lovely details and colours. That must have been quite a huge pond.

So nice that she had on a bright tee that matched some of the flower colour. A great image.
