Description
"The best academy, at a mother's knee." ~ James Russell Lowell
"My mother never breast-fed me. She told me she liked me as a friend." ~ Rodney Dangerfield
"I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father." ~ Greg Norman
Another water lily from Fairchild Botanical Garden just south of Miami. The undulations of the water's surface tension almost steal the show from the lily. Almost. This one is in rememberance of Mother's Day, coming this Sunday. Thank you Mom, for all that you've done for me, and for all that you put up with over the years! And I can't forget to mention the mother of my children either -- thanks for all that you do too Lis! -----
Thanks for your "Suzannesque" comments on my previous upload,
Reflecting Upon A Lily

Kort, did you paint those lily pads? They look hand painted. Incredible! I can just see Mother Nature rising early in the morning, taking paintbrush in hand and trying to get the lily pads painted before you arrived. x:D Of course, the lily is exquisite. But the water is incredible with the movement and reflection in a dark pool. There is one little bit that flows clear between the 2 lily pads that catches my eye. Gorgeous photography, Kort. A beautiful gift for the 2 mom's in your life. How is that for "Suzannesque"? LOL Hugs, Suzanne x:)

This is just fabulous!!! I admit I was also drawn to those undulations, but the vivid color of the lily still draws your eye there! Outstanding, sir!

A beautiful capture Kort. I love the velvety "feel" of the water, so rich and fluid in it's motion. The lily is gorgeous and fitting for such a dedication. Great shot. xx
