Description

"There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to other animals as well as humans, it is all a sham." ~ Anna Sewell

Just a little thought for the day, and a water lily from Fairchild Botanical Garden south of Miami. I remembered to expose for the highlights this time, and rather like the results. -----

I'm partial to lilies because that is the meaning of my name "Suzanne". This is a truly exquisite photograph. I, too, like the exposed highlights...gives it a unique look. In addition, I am so happy with the quote you chose for this one, it is perfect. Have you figured out that this is going to my favorites, Kort? Hugs, Suzanne

Amazing colors - the dark blue of the water really contrasts beautifully with the brightness of the flower & leaves. Lots to like about this image, though my favorite part is the way the shadow falls so perfectly on the leaf...
