It was an overcast day on Saturday, and this might be a good thing to photograph water lilies. They are as pretty as ever, here are the photos.
This was taken with a Canon T2i, Aperture Priority, f/20, 1/10sec, ISO-100, Exposure bias 0, focal length 80mm, pattern metering mode, white balance cloudy, closeup cropped
Aperture Priority, f/5.6, 1/60sec, ISO-100, Exposure bias 0, focal length 50mm, pattern metering mode, white balance cloudy
Aperture Priority, f/5.6, 1/250sec, ISO-100, Exposure bias 0, focal length 105mm, pattern metering mode, white balance cloudy
This plant looks very much like rice pods.
Aperture Priority, f/16, 1/10sec, ISO-100, Exposure bias 0, focal length 98mm, pattern metering mode, white balance cloudy
Not a strange looking water lily, I know a green frog 
Aperture Priority, f/4, 1/100sec, ISO-100, Exposure bias 0, focal length 105mm, pattern metering mode, white balance cloudy
Aperture Priority, f/4, 1/250sec, ISO-100, Exposure bias 0, focal length 105mm, pattern metering mode, white balance cloudy
Aperture Priority, f/4, 1/500sec, ISO-100, Exposure bias 0, focal length 105mm, pattern metering mode, white balance cloudy
Aperture Priority, f/11, 1/15sec, ISO-100, Exposure bias -0.7 step, focal length 105mm, spot metering mode, white balance cloudy, closeup cropped
Aperture Priority, f/4, 1/125sec, ISO-100, Exposure bias -0.7 step, focal length 105mm, pattern metering mode, white balance cloudy
Aperture Priority, f/8, 1/40sec, ISO-100, Exposure bias -0.7 step, focal length 95mm, pattern metering mode, white balance cloudy
And then it started to rain around 1:30 pm (13:30).
Aperture Priority, f/10, 1/25sec, ISO-100, Exposure bias -0.3 step, focal length 35mm, pattern metering mode, white balance cloudy

Just when I thought the flower carpet was nice… these are great. Water lilies are always on the top of my list.

Nye, this was very enjoyable. My daughter’s Native American spirit name is “Nabagashquay” which means water lily in Ojibway. (We are not native, but live in the middle of a native reservation.) Your flowers are beautifully photographed. (love the frog in the middle of it, too!)

Kathy, thanks for sharing your story, your daughter has a lovely name. Photographing flowers, plants and animals make me happy, I’m beginning to think that I’m kind of odd.
