Hope you enjoy seeing all of the water lilies and lily pads today. |
For my Birthday Trip this year, George and I went to Blowing Rock, North Carolina for a few days. SO--on the day we traveled there, we of course had to stop at Biltmore House and Gardens in Asheville, North Carolina, to see what was blooming in August...
SO--guess where we went first??? We had to check out the Italian Water Gardens --which are fantastic this time of year... This year may have been the prettiest we have ever seen it... WOW!!!
Today I'll show you photos I took of the water lilies and lily pads. I couldn't believe all of the amazing colors of the lily pads!!!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures. Be sure and click on them for enlargements.

You can tell how much I love reflections. But you can tell how much I love all of the different lily pads also.

This little beauty and the one below were mostly bloomed out when we were there, but we managed to get a few photos.

This last photo is NOT mine. It is one which popped up on Facebook this past week... I loved it --and since it was a Water Lily, I decided to include it today... The quote says it all --don't you think?!!!
Have a wonderful remainder of the week.
