Magical Water Circles

Water lilies, a flora favourite of mine – this from the amazing  Spice Gardens in Penang, Malaysia on a trip up there in 2016.

Not too many flowers on offer, so the focus is on the lily pads.

Great view of the structural mechanics  of the plants,with the stems connecting the circular pads clearly visible though the water.

Even though you can see how the floating trick is performed, the sight is no less magical!

Water Lilies III

Everybody wants to be happy, right? But you cannot be happy all the time.

Serenity is probably a more desirable and realistic place to inhabit as much as you can.

It connotes calmness and acceptance. Happiness may stem from serenity, but not necessarily.

I am drawn to water lilies as a symbol of serenity.

It’s probably why my first ever post, Water Lilies I ,had that subject. To be honest, I just dipped into my photo stash to find something to put up and figure out how to work this WordPress blog gig. But it was the thing that initially came to me, for whatever reason.

Here is another post of the circular, floating marvels: Water Lilies II

I love the way they sit over a fluid, shifting surface. Transcending their environs.

And not just floating, but flowering sometimes.

Beautiful flowers.

Serenity.
