When we were at the bird viewing station north of Danville, Illinois, the water lilies had not come to life yet. There is something about them that I am attracted to...even in brown. But I am so ready to go north again and see what they look like now. However, we are supposed to have rain and storms today, so will be sticking close to home.
I don't think I've ever noticed a brown one before. Nice pic!
ReplyDeleteInteresting photo! And I think our water lilies up here are green now. I'm sure that Wisconsin could spare a few. Be safe in the storms!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the waterlilies still look brown here. Your photo makes me wish I'd photographed them!
ReplyDeleteI can't say I've ever seen a brown one either, neat picture. We are supposed to have rain today too, so I mowed the lawn yesterday, usually I do it in two days just so my body doesn't feel so beat up, well I'm paying for it today (lol).
ReplyDeleteI've got to agree.
ReplyDeleteA fine shot of the lily at this stage. A friend of mine has water lilies just now starting to bloom.
ReplyDeleteI did not know they had a brown phase. Your comment about the Illinois weather brought back a memory I'd like to forget about Illinois weather. Scary at least for me it was. Everyone else just kept driving like it was no big deal.
ReplyDeletei think they're neat, too. i know they can spread rapidly, though, so am glad i don't have any in the pond. some of the local lakes get rather plugged with them. :)
ReplyDeletestay safe in storm season!
This is a really interesting picture!!! First, I have never seen lily pads that are not green and lovely. When I first looked at this, I thought it was a tree stump, can you see it? I never knew they looked like this when dormant!!
ReplyDeleteI love water lilies too. HOpe you won't have severe weather.
ReplyDelete....wishing it would rain HERE!! Great composition in the photo Rose.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see a water lily in brown . . . I am always amazed at the clarity in your photos.
