Summer is truly underway when water lilies begin to appear on the lake. These beautiful aquatic plants decorate the surface of slow moving waterways between June and September. Their broad leaves often provide landing pads for dragonflies and weigh stations for frogs but stand out equally on their own. I try to expose for the lily’s white petals so that I retain some of their detail. This can be easier on a cloudy day when the light is more muted.

Beautiful visions, Belinda 🙂 I really like water lilies, and I really love the way you have captured the light in the petals and the reflections in the water.

Ah I see. I thought you implied that summer is around the corner for you because these flowers blossom only in the summer! Well I’m in Scotland and there’s still time for spring, so we are all in the same boat perhaps 🙂

Beautiful captures, Belinda! I especially like the first one with the lovely reflection and the inclusion of the surrounding lake elements. I makes me feel like I am there.
