They are looking particularly resplendent this year, even thought the water level in the lake is going down. I have been enamored of lily pads since I was a youngster and first viewed Monet's images of this marvelous plant. One of the things to watch is how birds, reptiles and insects use the pads to traverse acoss the water. Grackles are constantly hoping on the green discs, seeking insects among the green circles. Were I to leave this earth tomorrow, I could do worse that to spend eternity as a creature on a lily pad in the middle of a gorgeous lake.
