Just Another #BeautifulSunday

I sure did have a nice Sunday and wanted to share it with my awesome followers!

My son took out the jet ski..

I decided to kayak to where there were some nice water lilies...

Of course I had to get right in among the thick of it to get the shots...

That is a load of Sagittaria latifolia or better known as Arrowhead aquatic plants. Also notice the Mallard duck nesting tube.

So I Decided to Paddle to see a purple plant for #colorchallenge Sunday...

It is an invasive plant called Purple Loosestrife. It is rather pretty but not good for wetlands!

Will you be able to go back and photograph the water lillies when they are in full bloom?

Looked like a very enjoyable Sunday. Did that storm come your way, or veer off?

Never did get any rain. We need it too.

We had a great spring, but summer is turning a bit dry here to. Here's to wishing you more rain!

Nice water world

I've always love water lilies. I named my daughter Lillian (Lillie for short) inspired by the flowers. Looks like you had a beautiful day on the water. It looks like a fun area to kayak.

Oh yes most definitely! I always say any time on the water is a good time.
