This is my entry for today’s Colour Challenge sponsored by @kalemandra
Water lilies are often referred to as the Jewels of the Pond. They serve multiple purposes. Not only are they beautifully decorative, but they assist the ecosystem by maintaining the health of the ponds they inhabit.They provide shade reducing the heat in summer, slowing down the growth of algae, and sheltering the fish in the pond.
By absorbing nutrients in the water they deprive the undesirable green plants such as algae, thus keeping the water clear and clean. Water lilies grow completely within the water and their leaves spread across the surface layering the pond with vibrancy and colour.
Really does look like a jewel.

Thank you Melinda. When I see all the wonderful snow laden images from other countries, I wish I could fall into it and cool my fevered brow (I'm feeling a little poetic at the moment) Our summer heat is challenging to say the least, but that's what helps me appreciate our fabulous winters. But alas, we get no snow.
