The month of August is one of my least favorite months for photography here in the northeast. The greens are not as lush, the birds not as bright, and the thought of Spring migration is so far away. Yesterday, I had a few hours to myself so I drove around some country roads and noticed this vibrant water lily growing out in a large pond near a much larger group of the typical white versions. The color made my August day a bit brighter.

Beautiful bloom, exquisite reflection, clear water surface, and nice lily pads.
