Floating on the Water
"'Water Lilies' is an extension of my life. Without the water the lilies cannot live, as I am without art." - Claude Monet French painter and founder of Impressionism.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 29th of November is “floating”. I immediately thought of waterlilies and flowers, floating on a tranquil pond. Luckily for me, in my archive I have some beautiful water lily photographs that I took some years ago at the Blue Lotus Water Gardens. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile!
Spanning over 14 acres (50,000 square meters) in size, The Blue Lotus Water Gardens in Yarra Junction, east of Melbourne, features tropical-themed gardens containing more than forty different ponds, lakes and water features which produce the biggest display of lotus and waterlily flowers in the southern hemisphere. The grounds also contain an amazing array of exotic plants, garden exhibits, fountains, waterfalls, floral sculptures, walks and scenic vistas.
