As storms and flooding have been happening throughout Wisconsin, many Lily Pads have floated together. Sadly no frogs

Shot with my Olympus OMD EM 1ii in Cayman Islands.

Hassocks or kneeling pads. These beautiful hand made ones are part of a tradition in English churches where parishioners make them.

A most humble bow of respect to the painters and woodblock artists who created the "ukiyo-e" celebrating the original "floating world" of the Edo period of Japanese history. (From the series: "The secret life of lily pads")

A matter of scale. Without the dragonfly, you wouldn't have believed it. :-)

Trying to decide where the thin layer of focus will land on a scrub pad is quiet trying. Scotch Brite Copper scrub pad for cast iron cookware. Frame is 1/2 inch square or 13mm square.

I sat down for a minute to absorb the awakening marsh and noticed the morning sun touching the lily pads by the boardwalk in Point Pelee National Park.

Thank you for visiting and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves - I appreciate them all.

This is a photo of the reflection of autumn trees on a pond with floating lily pads. I love the painterly Monet impressionism quality of this image.

The making of decorated kneeling pads is something of a tradition in Norfolk congregations. This is St Mary's in the small village of Gayton Thorpe. The building dates to the 11th Century. The pews are a 1900s restoration.

Lilly Pad's seem to be a good place for Bug's .

Lily pads cover the swampy waters in the Okefenokee near the Suwannee Canal area. This side of the swamp was devastate by fire in April 2011. Lightning was blamed for a fire in the refuge that burned and smoldered for nearly a full year. The blaze charred a total of 309,200 acres, or about 483 square miles, before authorities declared it was extinguished.

Delighted that this image won the Abstract category in International Garden Photographer of the Year

I was struck by the lovely colours of the lily pads on this overshadowed pond, so I zoomed in to where some light fell...
