I thought that the heavy rain had destroyed the three pretty water lilies yesterday. But this morning, the sun was shining brightly and I was given a pleasant surprise. The three lilies not only "resurrected" but another lily emerged from the shallow flower pot. The photograph shows the four lilies arching towards the light! Here again, I thank photography for being able to "freeze the moment in time" so that we could admire and share its beauty indefinitely. In addition, if you examine the picture more closely, there are several buds that have the potenitial of blooming into flowers again! O what a bonus!
