Carol_Herman said...: Funny, I see the water lilies. And, I don't see "that pod." Where's the pod with the seeds?

When the seeds fall off ... do they just float in the water? Is that how nature makes water lillies grow?

Yes, this is a very pretty little scene. Thanks for posting.; 8/31/11, 3:04 PM
Ann Althouse said...: @Carol It's a bit to the right.

You can see it in this shot.; 8/31/11, 3:06 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: I focused on the detail at the center and suddenly all the detail in the photograph popped out at me in 3D.; 8/31/11, 3:19 PM
Carol_Herman said...: Wow, that water is really beautifully blue. Too.; 8/31/11, 3:22 PM

traditionalguy said...: Very deep thoughts.

But using blue food coloring in the water is cheating.; 8/31/11, 3:36 PM

Scott M said...: POTUS tried to upstage the GOP debate, it seems, but Boehner upped the ante. Good for him. The original scheduling of the joint session request was childish.; 8/31/11, 3:46 PM

MadisonMan said...: My take-home dropped $309.01 this month. Health insurance costs went up $119 and retirement withholdings went up $299.96. Tax withholdings dropped $109.95 (the new withholdings are done pre-tax).

(None of these savings influence the State's bottom line, of course).; 8/31/11, 3:59 PM

Very true. A nice shot.

I like how the larger picture was edited.

Now we can see the showerhead in context.; 8/31/11, 4:13 PM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Hello there.

Irene knocked out our fios saturday night, while I was at the "At the Canna Café... (you cannot say the wrong thing)" until a little while ago a good man came and rescued us back to civilisation..

Its good to be back.. we had a little water seep in the basement.. but we caught it in time.; 8/31/11, 4:34 PM

Ponder the lyrics to Hendrix's Look Over Yonder, recorded with the original Experience line-up in 1968, but not released until after his death.; 8/31/11, 4:45 PM

Dust Bunny Queen said...: I swear Ann, you are missing a huge opportunity.

Your photos would make KILLER jigsaw puzzles. Texture, color making a fabulous finished product....what a challenge. The one of the golden fountain (minus the squirrel) would be another difficult and challenging puzzle.

You should market your own line of puzzles.

Serious.; 8/31/11, 5:14 PM
