Water Lilies 2013 – Part 1

by hankinslawrenceimages | Dec 2, 2013 | Flowers, Nymphaeaceae Family

At some point every summer I spend some time photographing water lilies – and then somehow never get around to posting the photos for several months. And despite my best intentions of posting them sooner – here it is December and I haven’t posted my water lily photos from this year (and a few from last year). So here goes – the first set of water lily photos for 2013. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoy photographing them.

I had a chance to photograph a few more water lilies before their bloom ended for this year. Every time I see the different varieties of water lilies – I’m always amazed at all the different colors and combinations of colors in them.

I hope you enjoy this last set of water lilies for 2012.

On a recent visit to Longwood Gardens I had a wonderful time photographing the Tropical Day-Blooming Water Lilies. Everytime I see the water lilies at Longwood – I’m amazed at the variety of colors and combinations of colors in the blossoms.

Here are a few of my photos from my trip to Longwood Gardens.
