Jan Timmons
Such beauty and perfection, Karen. Has a serene and painterly look. Where are all of the mosquitoes? Smooth water indicates swarms of the unofficial state insect here.
Karen Tillotson replied
Thank you again! I expect the mosquitoes will be here at some point soon though we don’t get many actually…bit of a nice surprise when we moved up here! Lots of bats around though and I think that helps to keep the pesky population down.
AnnieD
Love the smooth darkness of the water against the beautiful colour of the waterlillies. Lovely reflections too!

gregsmith
you must have been lying face down, on the bank of the pond, in your jammies and gum boots to get this shot. a brilliant image. (x 2) Your Red Bubblonian friend, Greg.
Karen Tillotson replied
Haha! Hey Greg! Yes indeed…subjected myself to all kinds of hideous odiferous pond scum to come up with this shot! Wet chin, slimy jammies, scuffed gumboots and almost wet camera too! It was indeed a sight to behold I’m sure! Hope you appreciate the depth of my dedication!!!! LOL!
Cheers back from your fellow redbubblonian!xo
gregsmith
Do appreciate it, brilliant! I just love to slosh around in nature.
gregsmith
(....and get hideously odiferous) ha ha.
Karen Tillotson replied
I’ll just bet you have hip-waders, don’t you??? haha.
Suzanne Chouinard
Great shot with very beautiful reflections. Feeling of quietness.
Karen Tillotson replied
Thank you….I love sitting by my pond…it is lovely and quiet indeed.
gregsmith
As a matter of fact, I don’t have hip waders, but, to qualify this, I have gone shopping for them.
My current idea is to build a raft out of the loose thick branches found in the woods around the lake and just float into the perfect shooting positions. Still havn’t worked out the anchor, tripod mount, lunch bucket compartment, drink holder or seating. or, maybe, Hip Waders!
LindaR

photosbyflood
Wow! great angle on this and colors are wonderful! Water lilies are very hard for me to get right for some reason and this image is very well composed!
Karen Tillotson replied
Thanks so much for your visit Patrick and wonderful comments! Prior to this, I was never very happy with my lily shots…these two were taken laying down with my chin almost in the (smelly) ater and a steel-like grip on my camera (yegads!!!)...lol…it was touch and go for a minute there!But I was very happy this time with the result of my folly!
photosbyflood
Yeap to get the really good shots you almost always have to get into an odd position. That is what makes this image so unique, this shot looks like it was taken on glass and you can see the thiness of the lily pad and the light on the plants in the back round eligant!
Roka
Perfection!

Thank you Roka!
