Lily pads.....


This was taken along the highway on Mr. Desert Island.  It was private property on the other side of a fence so we stood outside the fence and took pictures.  The Atlantic ocean is behind us and  this is a body of fresh water retained probably by the building of the highway.  There is a heron fishing in the background if  you click on the photo for an enlargement.  I am planning to make a painting out of this when I get some painting time for myself.

When I first saw the lovely scene and before I read your remarks I thought what a beautiful painting it would make. It has that Monet feeling.
