Water Lily Glow

Loved the glow from taking a picture of the lily from the back side - the lily was leaning over in the water and the morning sun was illuminating it.

Purple Pastel Lily

The pastel quality of this lily made the picture, along with the strong crossing of the water lily stems in the middle.

Water lily star

The pentagon shape/star that formed in the center, sets off the mandala, with the half opened water lily bud anchoring the corners.  There was movement in the water so no perfect reflection but I like the shimmer.  

Purple Water Lily

More purple this time a water lily.  Thought this looked a little bit like an art deco print. In the last couple of weeks the water lilies at the Denver Botanic Gardens have all come out.   A beautiful display, with many picture opportunities. 

Purple Glass Boat

The boat with Dale Chihuly's blue and purple glass creations in the Japanese Garden at the Denver Botanic Gardens.

Purple Glass

There was a boat filled with purple and blue glass floating on the pond in the Japanese Garden at DBG.  Wonderful colors that made this jewel like mandela.

Fun Colors

Liked the fun colors in this glass display at the gardens, and the day lilies were out too.

Chihuly will be at the Gardens thru November so there is still plenty of time to see him.
