Water lily The weather was blessedly wet but, since I never did purchase that all-weather Nikon I should have snatched up last December when it was so cheap, I wasn't able to do any shooting today. Worse yet, I had a lot of deadline writing that had to be done, so 9 August became a big hole in my photo database. To prevent that date from becoming a hole in this blog, I chose a shot from a recent foray, and, as a tribute to sunnier days, I figured, why not a beautiful water lily? Sure, it's what photographers disparagingly call "flower porn," but at my advanced age, I can live with the critique. Besides, the flower's lovely, and there's a Blue Dasher dragonfly stopped in flight just above the lily. What's not to like?
