The waterlilies at the Botanical Gardens, St. Louis, MO.
Monet was the start of my waterlily obsession. I love the way they float on top of a shimmering glass surface, spreading their leaves across the water. For me, Mermaids and Frog Princes always seem to sneak into my mind when I look at them. They evoke serenity and a calm coolness that seeps into your skin. I could sit for a couple of hours (in fact, I did) and stare at their colors or watch the dragonflies flit from one to the other.

Wow you got some great photos. Love the one at the top of the dragonfly on the white water lily! Thanks for the treat! Blessings, Natalie
Thanks Natalie! The dragonflies kept following me around and posing, lol.
I sure wish they’d do that for me! Have a great day. Blessings, Nataiie
