I found this patch of lilies in the Royal Botanic Garden - another example of a picture taken by lying on my stomach in public! Its at times like this that my family walk away, pretending that they don't know me!
You can find more shots from around the world at Our World Tuesday. SM
it is very pretty and worth the embarrassment. :)
ReplyDeleteI do the same, Stewart!
ReplyDeleteThey are beauties. I've never seen water lilies with serrated leaves like these, all of our water lilies have smooth edge leaves or "lily pads." :)
Oh, yes!! Definitely worth the embarrassment!! Such beauties indeed!! Have a great new week, Stewart!!
ReplyDeleteHahahahha!!i know the situation!!Hehhehe is she gone mad about something on the ground hahah
ReplyDeleteBut very nice shoots of the lillies!!
love them and the storie that goes with it:)

ReplyDeleteheheheeh - and my problem is that the ol' bod won't let me get down on the tummy for those hot angle shots!!! Love the peacefulness of this one. YAM xx
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI would lie down on the ground any day to get such a lovely photo.
Where there's a will there's a way..Or...Do what it takes..Beautiful lilies..Thanks for embarrassing your family...
ReplyDeleteThey are quite something. I am convinced that when I see people taking photos from strange angles that they are probably bloggers.
ReplyDeleteNice shot! Definitely worth lying down on your stomach to get.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, I too have family that pretend I'm not with them when I am in the dirt getting a good shot. Have a fantastic week!
ReplyDeleteDawn- desert southwest
It is a lovely shot of the waterlilies, worth the embarrassment..
ReplyDeletewow! those are exploding with color.
ReplyDeleteHaha! That is a great shot--thanks for taking the time (and trouble) to show us such beautiful lilies. If any of your family members become photographers/bloggers someday, they'll understand.
ReplyDeleteLaying down, now why don't I do that rather that the awkward crouching that sometimes looks like I am doing something else you shouldn't in public. Lovely lilies.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteVERY BEAUIFUL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the lilies.
ReplyDeleteI recognize the situation on the ground.
Let people think.
They're gorgeous! My family does the same thing. :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha, my family does that to me too (except my 14 year old son who loves to take photos too and he gets it!). That's a BEAUTIFUL photo, Stewart!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! How I love waterlilies and yours are gorgeous! I actually have some birds this week so will be back later to sign up for WWW :)
ReplyDeleteI guess that should be WBW ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL...It is fun to get THE shot, isn't it. Gorgeous photo too.
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh about your family's reaction! :-) Lovely shot. Definitely worth it!
ReplyDeleteHa! My family does that, too.
ReplyDeleteno WBW link-up today? :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful shot, at least to us you did a good job, despite your family's abandonment, hahaha! That is the reason it is always lovely to travel with photo hobbyists. They all do amusing and unusual things!
